Drumore is a Neolithic farmstead and associated field system located approximately 600 metres west of Drumore in Ross-shire, Scotland. The site comprises a chambered cairn, substantial evidence of prehistoric agricultural land use, and rock surfaces bearing cupmarks, indicating sustained settlement and activity during the Neolithic period. The chambered cairn represents a monumental funerary structure typical of Neolithic communal burial practices in northern Scotland, while the field system demonstrates the agricultural economy and land management practices of early farming communities. The cupmarks carved into rock outcrops suggest ritual or symbolic significance within the broader settlement landscape, reflecting the cultural priorities of these early farming societies in the Highlands.
