It is, isn't it? I've not seen that before. Scuze my ignorance, but is there any significance to the segment of a large "circular" feature in the top right hand corner (just above where the cursus ends)? I had a quick glance at a map of the environs here:

and as far as I can see the segment isn't in the right position for Durrington Walls.

Yep, Durrington's further off to the right. Looks like a buried river bed to me, I'm guessing that it was a former meander of the Avon - I think somebody posted some kind of theory about it on here a while back.
