Looking northeast along the course of the Dorset Cursus from the terminal on Thickthorn Down towards the transverse long barrow on the ridge of Gussage Hill. The white lines approximate the original positions of the cursus banks, which take a fairly straight course over this 3km stretch. The tree-covered hill on the horizon is Penbury Knoll, a vantage point over the whole of the Cursus. |
