Hi vertx
You can reach all of the circles from the path from Boot. Go through the village, cross the bridge by the mill and then head up the steep path until you reach the ruined cottages.
Once you've caught you breath, head out to Brats Hill, the two circles of White Moss and then cross onto the next ridge to view the lovely circles of Longrigg. I'd also recommend you have a walk from Longrigg to Boat Howe and then look back over the moor, it's a grand place to view the area from. The fells, the tarn, the sea, wonderful.
It's also worth having a mooch around the foot of Boat Howe on the westerly side, there seem to be a number of walls and other features that could indicate a settlement as well as a few cairns that appear to be far too structured to be clearance cairns.
It's a place I shall definitely be returning to sooner rather than later.

cheers & enjoy the walk

Hi Fitz, yeah, we were up there yesterday, a really clear morning with no-one else about. I wondered what era the circles date from...there's a group of four what look like kists in one circle and the whole complex is so impressive I was surprised not to have heard of it before, I only found out through the campsite map of the area that it was there.
Thanks for the info, any more would be greatfully recieved.
