Earth-house, Pirnie.
In April 1868 an earth-house was discovered near Pirnie, but unfortunately the larger portion of the structure was demolished before any careful examination could be made. The site was later visited by a deputation from the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, and a notice of the structure was contributed to the Proceedings, vol. vii (1866-8), pp. 532-4. A construction which at present exists alongside the house of Rothes, Markinch [NO 2830 0152], is understood to be largely built, presumably on the same plan, with stones taken from the earth-house (cf. p. 210).
