Jasmine Cottage Cursus is a Neolithic ceremonial monument located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, consisting of a linear earthwork typical of cursus monuments dating to the earlier Neolithic period, approximately 3500–3000 BC. The monument comprises parallel ditches defining a corridor-like structure, a form characteristic of cursus monuments across Britain and interpreted as processional or ceremonial avenues. Associated barrows located approximately 160 metres south-east of the cursus monument suggest the site continued to hold ritual significance during the Bronze Age, when burial mounds were constructed nearby. The survival of both earthwork features indicates the site's sustained importance as a focus for ceremonial activity across multiple prehistoric periods.
