Scope and Content Stone circle at Balbirnie, Kirkcaldy, Fife The stone circle at Balbirnie, along with the henge at Balfarg, form one of the most important groups of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in E Scotland. The site has had three phases of activity. It was rebuilt 125 m SE of its original location. This plan shows the layout of the site. The ten upright stones and rectangular kerbed area form the earliest phase. Four cists were built and the whole area later was covered with cairn material into which deposits of cremated bone were inserted.. The site was excavated, in advance of road building, between 1970 and 71. The cairn, which contained up to sixteen cremations, may have originally started off as mounds covering the individual cists. The finds are now in the RMS. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
