Powis Cursus is a Post-Medieval linear earthwork located in Angus, Scotland. The monument comprises a cursus, barrows, and associated enclosures, forming a complex of archaeological features characteristic of ceremonial or processional landscapes. The cursus itself represents a distinctive form of linear monument, whilst the barrows indicate burial activity within the wider site complex. The Post-Medieval dating suggests these features, or their reuse and modification, belong to the period following the medieval era, though the site may incorporate or overlie earlier archaeological elements.
