I was at this site on Friday battling the wonderful English summer! I didn't find the circle so need to go back. The cross is back on the cairn, albeit a fairly flimsy wooden structure (nice to see that Christian misappropriation is still going on, but then why change the habit of 2,000 years).

Anyway, thanks for the extra info here, I now feel I can go back and find it! Strawberry Lea is a whole other story though, as the bracken is simply way too high at this time of year.

Stu's OS co-ordinates are spot on so I'm suprised you couldn't find it although I would reckon it's about 50 metres rather than 100 metres from the cairn. The grass is still really short too so it's worth getting back up there to have another look but watch out for the stag with his two doe's that I spotted - he had a hefty set of antlers on him and is probably best avoided.
I'll post some pictures of the circle tomorrow that might help you find it in case you can't take megadread up on his offer.
