Cursus, Llwyn-Wron is a Neolithic cursus monument located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, and represents an important ritual and ceremonial landscape of the early farming communities of prehistoric Britain. The monument was identified through aerial photography, which revealed its characteristic linear earthwork structure consisting of parallel banks and ditches that would have marked a processional route or ritual pathway. Dating to the Neolithic period, likely the fourth or third millennium before the present, such cursus monuments are thought to have served ceremonial, funerary, and religious functions, connecting settlements and burial sites within the ritual geography of their communities. The aerial photographic evidence has been crucial in establishing the site's existence and form, as ground-level visibility and preservation of such monuments can be significantly obscured by subsequent land use and erosion.
