Passing through the happy world of Heathrow Airport yesterday, I thought about the cursus that lies nearby or possibly underneath. I tried to look it up but have found little information. Anybody know of any maps out there showing its location? Or grid references for either end?

And of course Heathrow is also renowned for the celtic shrine excavated some years ago, which of course might point to continuous use as a religious site. Can't do much in the way of links (working from a dongle) but the following - scroll down - gives some info....
