The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this cursus - see their entry for Stanwell Cursus, Heathrow, Surrey which gives a brief archaeology & history, saying: "Running roughly north-to-south, this cursus was 2ΒΌ miles long (3600 metres) and comprised of two linear sections from a field in Stanwell up through the western side of Heathrow Airport averaging, curiously, just 24 yards (22m) across."

The cursus is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 932648 which records the co-ordinates as TQ 0545 7431 to TQ 0448 7782 and gives details of the excavation.
