Cursus in Woodtown

Cursus

What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle E facing slope in undulating pasture. A cursus consisting of a u-shaped earthwork is visible on an aerial photograph aligned approximately NW–SE; the curve of the U is at the SE. It is defined by a low bank and external fosse that encloses an area c. 125m by 45m. The precise nature of this earthwork is unknown and the possibility that it could be the remnants of a cursus-type monument cannot be excluded.
