Inscribed Across the Landscape: Cursus Monuments of Great Britain

Roy Loveday's authoritative study shows how the nationwide canvas reveals much about the Cursus Monements' conceptual origin, and their role in the changed dynamics of Middle Neolithic Britain. He not only examines methods of construction and layout, but addresses the vexed question of their purpose—processional way, race track, or observatory. The relationship to accompanying burial complexes is also explored.
