The first time I went to Bradup the whole area was covered in heather too and I found some of those rocks but I don't remember seeing any upright stones either. The last time I went the place looked like it had been cleared by fire and the boulders really stood out, the area to the east of the fence where Bennett says the circle was *supposed* to be had been freshly ploughed. I still don't know if those stones were from the circle and had just been cleared out of the way - I'd love to know the truth. Maybe Moth can figure it out :-)
Hmm, I think I remember hearing about the sale of the land on Rivock Edge but I can't remember when or where from. Having tried to find carved rocks in a forest before I know it's a real bugger of a job, it's difficult to work out distances etc and the GPS just goes into a tailspin under that tree cover . . .

Didn't get up there this weekend, so it'll probably not be til next month now.

I'll try to get Ginger John up there with me too, he's as stubborn as I am & cynical enough that he won't let me get carried away about a pile of irrelevant rocks!!!!

Sounds much like we found the same pile of rocks then Chris. I don't remember where it was in relation to the fence, but sounds like the spot I saw.

I went back to the website where I read that Bradup may have been destroyed... and found it was yours! Also followed your link to Paul Kenyon's pic, and I'm pretty sure that's not the place I thought was the circle. So, it's looking bit grim for Bradup.

I hope to get back to Yorkshire n' up on the moor earlyish next year... so I'll go over to Rivock Edge while the weather's still too cold for bitey things n' have a wonder over. Or maybe next time Moth is up that way, he could have a quick gander... I'd be interested to hear if it really has gone. Moth's Mission... sounds a bit like Challenge Anneka!

The stones at Rivock are notoriously hard to find. Covered in loads of pine needles in a dark wood. David Raven has a couple or so decent pics on his website...
