Sounds like a very interesting and exciting venture Peter. I have a feeling that the cursus may also have had a predominately utilitarian function - ie as a semi-protected avenue for livestock from settlement to river (or between two other utilitarian points). The Chelmer (Springfield) cursus suggests just that.
