From SolarMegalith: Area of Reading Cursus is currently partly covered with Longwater Lake, which is part of Green Park in Reading. The area is well-maintained ad a very nice place to visit, but remains of the Neolithic monument are not distinguishable anymore. In the nearby remains of a Bronze Age settlement were discovered.
