The co-ordinates are fairly general as the documentary evidence only points to the middle ressy hosting the circle. Take a copy of the picture that Paulus has posted here and see if you can recreate the setting.
Spent the afternoon with an A4 blow up of the Ling Roth pic in my hand, trying to make it work - to no avail, I guess the poor quality of the photo plus changes in the years since it was taken (pre reservoirs) have made precise location difficult, does the full text of ‘Yorkshire Coiners’ offer any more clues?

Water levels at the moment are still very low.

Positionally, no. He simply told: "The position of the circle is on the left hand side of the valley going up, a few yards above the damn of the second reservoir." Though in the Great Drought a few yars back, Fortean writer Andy Roberts told me he'd been for a wander up here and saw it just as Ling Roth shows it in his picture. I seem to recall either him or a mate getting a photo of the site in situ during the drought. I'm sure you'd be able to find him on-line somewhere, via Fortean Times or similar websites.
