that Vanished: The Application of Non-Contact Recording Techniques to an
Elusive Rock Art Motif at Castlerigg Stone Circle in Cumbria’, Journal
of Archaeological Science 33: 1580-7.
The article can be downloaded in PDF-fromat from:

Hi Mick,
Welcome to TMA and thanks for the post on "The Spiral that vanished".
It would be good, however, to read the blog post "The Spiral that never vanished" by Paul Brown in May 2008 on BRAB:

Cheers,
