Just to say that I'm visiting the Prehistoric Dorchester-on-Thames Excavation Open Day tomorrow, probably around lunchtime. Call or text me on 07910 900298 if you want to meet up.
Judging by the directions it is this site they are excavating, or the cursus very close to it.

Prehistoric Dorchester-on-Thames – Excavation Open Days
Sun 17 July 10.00–16.00
Oxford Archaeology are organising a three week excavation near Dorchester-on-Thames to investigate a cursus and barrow, part of a large and impressive prehistoric ritual landscape. The excavation will use volunteers from the local community.
Visit the excavation, see artefacts from local digs and have experts identify your finds.
Site tours will be organised to show not only the the finds from the excavation but to give people an understanding of the wider landscape within which the finds sit, and an understanding of the process of archaeological research and excavation.
Location: Burcot Car Boot Field, St Berinsfield Roundabout, A4074. A4074, Oxford To Henley Road.

Very interesting visit. I also got a copy of the 'Lines on the Landscape' cursus book and some other Oxford Archaeology publications for £5 each, a bargain!
