5,000-Year-Old Ritual Pit Circle Discovered Beneath Scotland's Isle of Arran
Archaeologists have uncovered a 5,000-year-old ritual circle buried under the peat of Scotland's Isle of Arran using geophysical scanning technology. The discovery revealed a ring of 12 underground pits, believed to date back to the Neolithic or Bronze Age period. Crucially, the find was made without any physical excavation, preserving the site entirely. The location sits within Machrie Moor, an area already known for its rich prehistoric heritage. Researchers suggest the pits may once have supported ancient ceremonial timber structures.
