Dunragit henge. The fields between the Mound and Dunragit village contain one of the most important Stone Age sites in Scotland.

Built around 2500 BC, this huge monument almost six times the size of Stonehenge was a ceremonial centre and a meeting place for south-west Scotland's early farming communities.

It is a pit defined cursus monument, dating from Neolithic and Bronze Age times. It was first discovered by aerial photography in 1992.

Dunragit Excavations Project. Archaeological excavation has revealed the remains of three massive concentric timber circles; the outer circle was 300m in diameter.
