Yes, that is close to where the seams of Alston anthracite are - there's the remnants of a limestone quarry half a mile away, but that's not it either. Quarry rubble rarely finds itself upright in circular formation - particularly not in a topographical relationship (outlier) to a known site. Have a look at this thing on Magic maps ( http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/5693 ) which is about a mile away and listed on the SMR as probably 'Iron Age defensive'.

And then link it with the earthworks at Mayburgh Henge, eighteen or nineteen miles to the southwest. It (the Station Field Earthwork) should show up well with one of the aerial image utilities. It's big, but can't be defensive as it's just an L shape, with a gateway on the long leg. Nobody knows it's there, of course.
