Description Overhead view of the arc of enormous postholes that form the NE terminal of the cursus, looking south taken at the end of the 2001 season. At the top right hand corner the artificial mound known as the Droughduil Mote, but now thought to be a mini Silbury Hill can be seen against the trees. The cursus runs through a huge concentric triple timber cicle which had an avenue running due south directly to the mound, which was found to have a small BA cairn on top during the 2002 season.
