Dorset Cursus

The Dorset Cursus is a Neolithic cursus monument that spans across 10 km (6¼ miles) of the chalk downland of Cranborne Chase in east Dorset, United Kingdom. Its extreme length makes it a notable example of this class of linear earthwork; it is better interpreted as a pair of same-length cursus constructed end to end, with the more southerly cursus (the Gussage Cursus) pre-dating the northerly one (the Pentridge Cursus).

Located at 50.9434, -1.9752 (Lat. / Lng.), about 1 miles away.

Bokerley Dyke

Bokerley Dyke (or Bokerley Ditch) is a Romano-British defensive dyke 3.25 miles long in north east Dorset, England, near the villages of Woodyates and Pentridge. Bokerley Dyke may have originated in the Bronze Age or Early Iron Age and formed a political and cultural boundary. It was cut through by a Roman Road in the 1st century. In the 4th century it was remodelled and bought back into use, and excavations show that the Roman road was blocked.

Ackling Dyke

Ackling Dyke is a section of Roman road in England which runs for 22 mi southwest from Old Sarum (Sorviodunum) to the hill fort at Badbury Rings (Vindocladia). Much of the road exists as an exceptionally large embankment, up to 50 ft wide and 6 ft high. This would have been visible from a great distance and must have been intended to impress the native population, as it was unnecessary from an engineering viewpoint.
