Inchbare Cursus is a Neolithic ceremonial monument located in Angus, Scotland, and represents one of the category of elongated earthworks characteristic of the early Neolithic period. The cursus consists of parallel banks and ditches that would have formed an enclosed linear processional way, a form typical of monuments constructed during the fourth millennium before the Common Era. Such monuments are thought to have served ritual or ceremonial functions, possibly connected to funerary practices or community gatherings, though their precise purpose remains a subject of archaeological inquiry. The Inchbare example contributes to the body of evidence for Neolithic settlement patterns and ceremonial activity in eastern Scotland.
