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.

Update May 2017: For the Canmore Entry (ID 25651) click here. Further information can also be found on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their entry for Carse Farm (north), Dull, Perthshire, which includes directions on how to find this four poster, plus photographs and a brief archaeology and history.
