Stonehenge Cursus is a large Neolithic earthwork on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, England, dating to 3630-3375 BCE—several centuries before Stonehenge's earliest phase around 3000 BC[1]. It stretches roughly 3 km long and 100-150 m wide. The earthwork, along with adjacent barrows and the Lesser Cursus, forms part of the National Trust's Stonehenge Landscape and is within the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site[1].
