Just to the south of Dull (Carse Farm 1) the OS Map confidently announces another circle (remains of) at NN 806487. Don't be fooled, there is only one stone here As the field was full of cows, we didn't bother getting any closer to it either...
Update May 2017: For further information see Canmore ID 25629, which says: (by H A W Burl 1971) "There is insufficient ground evidence to classify this as a "four-poster". The single upright stone (A) survives in a ploughed field and is 1.8m high x 1.0m x 0.7m. The two recumbent stones (B and C) are slabs, half-buried in the soil 9.0m and 18.0m SW of the upright stone, and as planned by Cash. They are respectively 2.5m x 1.2m, with four cup marks near the centre on the upper horizontal surface, and 3.4m x 1.8m with two cup marks near the NW tip. No other stones survive." An additional entry from 1978 says that "Mrs. Stewart states that this is definitely a large stone circle and not a four poster." In 2011, this site was put under a watching brief.
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also features a page on this site - see their entry for Carse Farm (south), Dull, Perthshire, which includes photographs, an old drawing, Aubrey Burl's ground plan, directions to find the stone and a brief archaeology and history.
