Stone Circle in East Lothian

This stone circle is featured on "Ancient Stones: A Guide to Standing Stones and Stone Circles in the South of Scotland" - see their entry for Stone Circle, Kingside Hill, Cranshaws.

Ancient stones describes this feature as "30 small boulders forming a circle about 12m in diameter. The largest stone only reaches 0.40m above ground level and there is also a stone set in the centre. The large piles of stones on each side are this settings are the result of field clearance. This ring of stones has been noted as a stone circle but has also been described as a probable enclosed cremation cemetery - a hybrid ring cairn/stone circle."

I'm not sure the grid reference of this site is correct, as its location does not match the directions. I've been unable to find an entry on Canmore for this site, so will try and find out more information and correct this entry when I can. From the directions, I think the grid location could be NT 6263 6403. Does anyone know this area? Can you help clarify its location? Thank you.
