S2 E02/ Balfarg Henge

Balfarg Henge is one of the most important henge monuments in Britain but its location is slightly unusual - in the middle of a roundabout in a suburban housing estate in Fife. How will that suburban context shape how Matthew and expert Kenny Brophy experience the site? And how much of is neolithic anyway?
