In an unlikely location in a housing estate in the new town of Glenrothes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenrothes ) we see a restored wood and stone henge, the extent of which discovered during excavations in 1977. It is circle No. 147 in Burl's guide, which he describes as a "megalithic imperative" to visit.
