Now destroyed tumulus in Fife
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) tells us that little is known about this now destroyed prehistoric tomb. It was mentioned in Young's 1913 history of the township - see their entry for Craigkennockie, Burntisland, Fife.
The TNA entry contains some folklore and details of Young's publication which tells us "how this old tomb was a place that seemed cursed or should not be disturbed."
Note: Do you have any information or historical images about this tumulus that you can add?
