Bannockburn West

Excavation prior to road and housing development revealed a cursus 26m across made up of posts spaced at a distance of around 1m. Running E to W, only a section survived, with the N side extending for around 30m and the S side for around 95m before ploughing obliterated any evidence. The cursus was dated to from the mid fourth to early third millenium BC.
