Stone Circle in Perthshire
This now destroyed stone circle is described on The Northern Antiquarian's page for Hill of Ballunie, Kettins, Perthshire, which shows a photograph of where the site used to be (now on a dead straight road from the Hill of Ballunie to Leys).
Whilst the stone circle no longer exists, TNA adds: "However, ley-hunters will love this place. Not only was this lost circle located at the edge of a dead straight road, running from the Keillor standing stone a short distant east, but as it runs downhill it reaches, a couple of miles below, the hamlet called Leys."
This site is also recorded as Canmore ID 30549, which says A. Jervise in 1879 reported "the remains of stone circles exist upon the Hill of Ballunie." The site was visited in 1970 and 1989, but no trace of any stone circles were found.
