The view looking NNW from the top, which is an early Bronze Age cairn built on top of the late Neolithic remainder. The pale green field top right contains unexcavated features ID' by aerial photography inc a wooden posthole avenue. Beyond the field - the L-R hedgeline is the railway to Stranraer - is the site of the wooden henge and 300' m dia tri-concentric wooden cursus excavated in 1999-2002. Droughduil itself was excavated in '02, and was shown to be a probable contemporary viewing platform for the 2500 BC cursus.
