Cursuses, or 'cursus monuments' as most archaeologists prefer to call them (more on that in the programme), are potentially one of the most telling phenomena about life in the neolithic. However, they are also - to date - one of the most enigmatic.
Cursus monuments, which were constructed during the Neolithic period (4000 B.C. to 2500 B.C.) are long rectangular earthwork enclosures, sometimes many kilometres long, comprising parallel earthen banks and ditches.
The discovery of this form of prehistoric earthwork on Arran is significant because although cususes are quite common in Britain and Ireland, they are rare towards the west coast of Scotland. It also brings focus to the wealth and expands the breadth of the already extensive prehistoric remains on the Isle of Arran.
