Henge Monument and Cursus is a Neolithic ritual complex situated in Conwy, north Wales. The site comprises both a henge monument and a cursus, two distinct forms of ceremonial earthwork characteristic of Neolithic Britain, dating to approximately 3000 BCE or later. The henge element typically consists of a circular or near-circular bank and ditch formation, while the cursus represents an elongated rectangular enclosure defined by parallel banks, both serving ritual, ceremonial, and possibly funerary functions within Neolithic society. This monument is designated under the Welsh heritage protection system as a scheduled ancient monument and represents significant archaeological evidence of prehistoric religious practice and communal organisation in the Welsh landscape.
