Alrewas Cursus
Alrewas Cursus submitted by TimPrevett : Looking from Croxall Lane, next to the railway signal box, the end of a rectilinear feature can be made out, arguably. See the Flash Earth image close up. This was part of a cursus... now bisected by the imperious A38, running along the course of the Roman Ryknild St. Cursus now descheduled. (Vote or comment on this photo)
