Barnack Cursus

Hob Uid: 1219310
Location :
City of Peterborough
Barnack
Grid Ref : TF0836006720
Summary : A Neolithic cursus is visible as a cropmark on air photographs. Orientated roughly northeast-southwest, it is a rectangular single-ditched enclosure measuring 115 metres by 20 metres. A series of hengiform and ring ditch cropmarks are visible in the immediate vicinity (see TF 00 NE 11 and its associated monument records).
More information : [This monument was formerly recorded as part of TF 00 NE 11 - see that record for additional sources and information]

A series of cropmarks...visible on air photographs include a cursus, 500 feet long with straight sides and squared ends (TF 083066 - 084067). (1)

The Neolithic cursus referred to by authority 1 has been mapped from good quality air photographs and was visible as a cropmark of a rectangular ditched enclosure 115m by 20m, centred at TF 0836 0672. A band of geology visible as a sinuous linear feature runs through the cursus.

Other features were visible aligned with the ends of the cursus, and are presumably associated with the cursus, though not all are necessarily contemporary. Other hengiform monuments and barrows are visible in the vicinity of the cursus [see associated monuments]. (2)
