Archaeologists uncover complete Neolithic cursus on the Isle of Arran

In August, a team of archaeologists collaborated with local volunteers to embark on an excavation project at Drumadoon, revealing what is likely the sole intact Neolithic cursus monument ever discovered in Britain.

These expansive rectangular enclosures, dating back to a period spanning from 4000 to 3000 BC, are believed to have served as dedicated spaces for processions, ceremonies, and gatherings.

Importantly, they were intentionally separate from everyday settlements and agricultural lands.

Varied in size, ranging from 200 meters to as long as 10 kilometers, these monuments were delineated by ditches, embankments, or sometimes substantial oak posts, the Guardian reported.
