Hindwell Cursus
Hindwell Cursus submitted by yewtreeguy : This colour image taken by Toby Driver of the RCAHMW in 2011 shows the Eastern Terminus of what is now called The Walton Great Cursus that can now be traced for 4.6km across the Walton Basin. The Western End of this Monument is identified at Harpton but is thought not to be a Terminus, so the monument may yet be larger. It is currently the second largest in Britain.
