Certainly there are a couple of large side set slabs standing on edge here, with others fallen and laying about which could conceivably be remnants of a stone circle.
However, I am not convinced, as there is much loose and fallen granite here, some of it split and quarried, and the position on the slopes of the hill do not feel or seem right. I think it would certainly be an unusual place for a stone circle.
