Archaeologists excavating the site of a future golf course were surprised to find evidence of a prehistoric village — including a rare chariot wheel dating back millennia.
The excavation took place near Inverness, Scotland, at the site of the future Old Petty Championship Golf Course at Cabot Highlands.
Experts working for Avon Archaeology Highland also found a Bronze Age cremation urn estimated to be 3,500 years old, along with flint tools and quern stones, which were used to grind grains.
Remnants of at least 25 Neolithic-era wooden buildings were also uncovered at the site, according to the BBC.
Archaeologists told news agency SWNS the newest finds help "paint a picture of ancient life in the Highlands, from ceremonial practices to agricultural innovation."

Archaeologists are currently working to analyze and date the remains, and a full report is expected to be released at the same time that the golf course opens.
The discovery is one of many ancient finds in the United Kingdom in 2025.
In March, a hoard of over 800 Iron Age objects were publicized by Durham University.
In addition, archaeologists recently found hundreds of skeletons beneath a campus property owned by the University of Gloucestershire.

Fast forward 50 years, Headline: “Did golfer capture pic of the famous “Mourning Lady of the Fourth Hole?”
I made it up there once. Before everything went beyond Orwellian.
I’m sure they are making sure this news gets out hoping it will cause a little bit more people to venture to this far north territory up in the sticks of Scotland to spend their money, I think that is why they keep the mystery of the Lock Ness monster going, and that is to keep the money flowing as people on vacation spend their hard earned money at pubs and bed and breakfast up their near their north pole territory.
“agricultural innovation”
I wonder what was innovative 2,000 years ago?
“future golf course”
Trump’s fault?
Golf courses are such a waste of land.
