1. Cropmarks of a neolithic cursus monument, examined during trial excavations by CPAT. 'Cropmark evidence from several seasons of aerial reconnaissance has revealed a more or less continuous feature defined by two ditches between 54m and 70m apart, extending for at least 800m from SO 2436 6050 to SO 2508 6087. There are also two further lengths of linear cropmark which may extend the northern ditch for another 1.6km as far as SO 2654 6155'. Extract from Jones, N. 2011. Excavations at Hindwell, Radnorshire, 2010-11. CPAT Report No. 1089.
2. RCAHMW aerial reconnaissance on 26th April 2011 identified the north-east terminal of the cursus monument at SO 2696 6183 near the Knobley Brook (see NPRN 414018). If extended south-west towards Harpton Court, where it is presumed that the south-west terminal lies, the cursus would have a length of over 4kms, and would cross at least two stream valleys.
