The Balfarg site is a complex one spanning some 2000 years of history from 4000 BC. In the initial phase around 6000 years ago pits were dug and pottery sherds placed in them. Later similar pits from 5000 years ago had grooved ware sherds, burnt wood and bone interred in them. Subsequently a ditch some 60 metres across with a causewayed entrance was dug and an apparent henge with 16 timber posts erected within it. Later a stone circle seems to have been added although only one stone from that circle survives today. A further stone offset from that circle is interpreted as a marker stone for the causewayed entrance to the site. Finally around 4000 years ago a burial occurred in the centre of the henge and was covered by a horizontal stone. The body was buried with beaker ware pottery and a flint knife. The development of a housing estate around the henge has been thoughtfully done leaving a pleasant park like atmosphere to the site. Its well worth making a detour to see this important site.
