Shame I only saw this now, am about to head south to catch up on some Dorset lurrvelies I've not seen for a while.

In my view the cursus is the most amazing monument in Dorset. In size it is unparalleled (unlike its bank... sorry ;) I've seen both ends and a couple of bits in the middle. My personal recommendation would be the other side of the wood from Oakley Down. I found a photo the other day from there that I'd taken looking south up a ridge where the westerly bank is very clear as a cropmark.

This all reminds me of possibly my fav joke; What's a pirate's favourite prehistoric monument?
