Excavations at the Eton Rowing Course and along the Maidenhead, Windsor and Eton Flood Alleviation Channel revealed extensive evidence for occupation in an evolving landscape of floodplains and gravel terraces set amidst the shifting channels of the Thames.

A review of the most recent evidence from cursuses, and ideas on their interpretation, with contributions as follows: Introduction (J Harding and A Barclay) , the radiocarbon problem (A Barclay and A Bayliss) , symbolic territories (J Harding) , processions, memories and the Dorset cursus (R Johnston) , Dorchester on Thames - ritual complex or ritual landscape (R Loveday) , cattle, cursus monuments and the river ... the Upper Thames (A Barclay and G Hey) , the Cambridgeshire Ouse (T Malim) , Eastern England (J Last) , the Cleaven Dyke (A Barclay and G Maxwell) , the Holywood cursus, Dumfries (J Thomas et al) , cursus monuments in Scotland (K Brophy) , cursus monuments in Wales (A Gibson) , cursus-like monuments in Ireland (C Newman) , Passy-Rots and linear monuments in northern France (I Kinnes) .

The site at Whitecross Farm, including timber structures located on the edge of the eyot, and a substantial midden and occupation deposit has been securely radiocarbon-dated to the late Bronze Age. The late Bronze Age artefact assemblages are suggestive of a high-status site, with a range of domestic and ritual activities represented.
