Seven stone circles with two sets of outliers? sounds very unlikely
Are they maybe kerbstones from a huddle of cairns

The closest I can think of is Bottallack Cairn Circle at SW355324.

There is one circle still quite plain there, right up against a ruined mine building, but I'm not sure there's much else in the area, though the gorse was high when I was there last, there could be all sorts of stuff up there - lots of mine workings etc, so it's difficult to know what's what.
