This article presents an in-depth exploration of the application of 3D techniques frequently used in Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment, with a focus on the adaptation of Accurate Visual Representation for use in landscape archaeology. Specifically, this paper explores the visual environment surrounding mid-to-late Neolithic enclosures in the English county of Cumbria.This study explores how 3D modelling, photography, and GIS analyses can enhance our understanding of archaeological landscapes. It focuses on the relationship between stone circles and their visual context, using the concept of ‘visual magnitude’ as a phenomenological lens. The results indicate that the mid-to-late Neolithic Cumbrian stone circles (circa. 3200 – 2500 BC) exhibit similarities to contemporary ‘henge enclosures’ across England
