β€œAn excavation is underway at Drumadoon on the Isle of Arran after the site of a possible #Neolithic cursus monument was earlier detected by an aerial laser scan.

The monuments are believed to have been used for processions, possibly linked to the honouring of the dead, with the possible Drumadoon cursus reaching a vantage point over the Machrie Moor stone circle.” #archaeology
