• KD032-058 Cursus
  Description

  Visible on a Google Earth image (21-04-2011) as the cropmarks of two parallel fosses defining a long linear area (pers. comm. I. Kenny, 21-08-2013). On freshly re-seeded ground, level at the SE end but rising gently towards the NW. A shallow linear hollow (D 0.3m; Wth 10m) while not particularly well-defined, is nonetheless traceable (est. L c. 130m NW-SE), and terminates in a curved end at NW. From the NW, looking SE along its line, the cursus appears to line up with Keadeen Mountain and Brusselstown Ring (WI027-018----) to the SE; notably there is a cursus monument on the slopes of Keadeen (WI027-089----).
