What Lies Beneath
Reflecting on his discovery, Mr. Cowley bets that if you were to ask anyone in his survey team what they thought they were most likely to find on Arran, “not one of them would say a Neolithic cursus monument… because there is no other on Arran… its unique on the island.” The cursus at Tormore suggests many more similar sites might be out there waiting to be discovered in the west of Scotland, but Mr. Cowley points out that because they were built from timber “you are not likely to see them in the unimproved peat landscape of the west coast.”
