...first, archaeologists thought that the find was related to a 6th century A.D. building, similar in structure, at nearby Doon Hill, in East Lothian. But radiocarbon dating of the wood at Balbridie Farm indicates that the timber was felled as long ago as 4000 B.C. The composition and style of pottery shards found in one of the pestholes are characteristic of that time.
