Hey Thanks Everyone!
Im getting some great pointers.
Thanks fitz for highlighting your blog - i read it a few years ago and will have another look later today. Have you any thoughts on the alleged (by Dr Simpson) Brackenbyre circle? His drawing of 1860ish shows a huge circle (400ft diameter) close to the present Brackenber Farm. This is different from Stukeley's account.
Truth be told no one really knows. Stukeley mentions a spring near the Greyhound with a round Sacellum of 12 stones set by one great stone belonging to the avenue. Im getting some great pointers.

There are a few large stones in this area but whether they are avenue or circle or both who knows?
I corresponded a while with the fella who runs the shap community website, perhaps he'd be a good contact for you.
