(it's not an old one though is it, it's new? Do places have to be old to get sacred vibes? or are they naturally vibey? Now this is the question :)

I've never seen it but understand some venerable modern antiquarians such as John Michell were involved in alignments when it was erected. Yes, I think 'modern' stone circles can be atmospheric if old stones are used and they are sited somewhere of natural beauty preferably on a hill.

I love Glastonbury, not so much the town which I can take or leave - the Tor and the springs are sacred to me. Don't ask me to explain why because I won't be able to.

Depends on their position, I suspect: both geographical and their alignment. There's a recent tiny stone circle a few hundred yards from Boscawen-Un stone circle in West Penwith, erected by a local Pagan sculptor and it's a magical thing - but yes, this may well be about where it is, as much or even more than what it is.
