Stone Circle in Perthshire. The B846 runs below the village of Dull, and this site lies in a field to the south of the road just 50m west of the second road leading up to Dull. Marked on OS maps as a circle, (also referred to as Carse Farm) it is in fact a charming little 4-poster. It lies on an axis from the cup-marked rock in the fields beside Dull and the chapel therein. Strangely enough, however, the only stone of the 4 which carries any markings is that in the NE corner, (on the bearing from the chapel and cup-marked rock), the top of which is covered in cupmarks! Isn't that spooky...?
Canmore mentions that there are 17 cup marks on the NE stone, and 3 on the SE, which we didn't notice. Burl correctly identifies this as a four-poster, and suggests it is datable to around 2150 - 1800 BCE. Canmore also states that excavation revealed a pit against the inner face of the NE stone, filled with compacted cremated bone, black earth and charcoal, as well as a collared urn with incised geometric ornamentation.

This is the best time to visit here, the field has just been harvested and the farmer is in a good mood. I raised a hare as I was crossing to the stones. I didn't think to look for Nick's cup marks, maybe next time.
