Visited: Would like to visit
Balbirnie submitted by Nick on 5th Nov 2002. From the A92 running north from Glenrothes, turn east onto the un-numbered road for Star and Kennoway. 100m along this road is a sign for the Balbirnie housing development, turn in here and about 150m/200m along, where the road curves right, you will see the circle just below you.

Site Type: Henge

Balfarg Henge submitted by cosmic on 4th Dec 2003. Balfarg is a henge which was excavated when a housing estate was built round it in the 1970's. There are only two standing stones but post holes found inside the henge have been marked with a set of wooden posts.
Surprisingly only one part of the henge ditch seems to have been subject to vandalism (by bikes?)

Log Text: Re: the central ring cairn, I've been looking through Burl's Stone Circles and have as yet failed to find an explanation for what seems to be a large stone (or two) apparently missing and the resultant space filled in with rocks.
Isn't it odd that had a passage started where such stones might be missing, then it would logically(?) have continued in the same direction, i.e. towards the midwinter sunset, as do the passages in the other two cairns, i.e. passage cairns, on the site.

Log Text: Don't expect a conventional broch - this one seems to have been much altered. It must have been an important area, there are three other Duns before you reach the southern tip of the peninsula, and there is a large round cairn, a good stone circle, and other sites nearby.
