Balfarg

[3] Five further concentric post rings had also been erected outside and inside the main wooden circle although these were made from narrower timbers and may have supported hurdling or a palisade.

Around 1900 BC a pit was dug in the centre of the stone circles and in it was placed the body of a young man along with a flint knife and a handled beaker.

Later excavation between 1983 and 1985 by Barclay and Russell-White demonstrated that there were scatters of earlier Neolithic pits round the Balfarg henge.

The Balfarg Henge now serves as a centre piece greenspace for the local area with modern housing developed in crescents around the monument.

Former traditional steadings and farm buildings within the area have also since been converted into housing and now form part of the larger modern estate.

The Coul burn flows southeast through Balfarg on to Balbirnie Park and then joins the River Leven further east near Windygates.
