It seems like a very strange categorisation to me. Whatever the original 'function' of most (ha!) stone circles, it seems unlikely that this one had the same function.

That said, perhaps the term stone circle should be used for owt stoney & circular. Not specially helpful tho...

Agree .Can't think of anything similar . Ideal small excavation might help . I'm wondering if James Kemworthy ever saw it and what his thoughts were ,if recorded .It's right in his area .

Oh no, I can see another kerb-cairn/ring-cairn/embanked stone circle discussion coming on. :-)
