Missing Rock Art and Holy Well in Perthshire. As recorded in 1922: A cup marked stone with 19 cups was found forming the doorstep of an old stable at Easter Tobairandonaich.
The stone is oval with diameter varying from 2'8" to 3'2". Tobairandonaich is a deserted hamlet and completely ruined. It owes its name to a holy well situated 30 yds to the S.
However no trace of this stone was found in 1975 after a thorough search of the ruined hamlet.
Also a holy well, now partly silted up and dry at NN 8866 5319. It is dry-stone lined and circular, 1.0m in diameter and still 1.0m deep. The name is not known locally, but more elderly locals still know it as a holy well.

Another cup marked stone nearby which is also lost http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=59125
Note: A rare postcard from 1922 of a cup marked stone now lost to history, and another close by, also lost. Would anyone in Perthshire like to have a look for them?
