Abstract:		 A long cropmark enclosure, interpreted as a Neolithic cursus, was investigated to confirm its date and establish a site sequence. The enclosure was c. 690 m long and thirty-seven to forty-nine metres wide, the ditch being uninterrupted in all areas examined. Features within the interior at the eastern end included an incomplete ring of substantial post-pits which it is suggested originally formed a complete circle. Peterborough pottery, predominately Mortlake style, Grooved Ware, a small amount of Beaker pottery, earlier Bronze Age urn sherds, and flint artefacts of the late-third to early-second millennium BC were recovered from the cursus ditch and other features. Collectively the evidence indicates a prolonged period of use. The results of the excavations are described, the site is discussed in its local and regional context and the implications of the excavation for our understanding of cursus monuments are considered.
