I think the Lat long for this are a bit out. From the 13 stone locations given, the centre of the circle is very nearly 376653.417 424273.035, or a Lat/Lon of 53.714346 -2.3552176 and a grid ref of SD 76653 24273.
This is about 90m from the current location so a reasonable difference.

The radius of the circle is about 13.34m assuming it is circular.

Thanks,
David Hoyle

    Pastscape has it at SD 7690 2450. That's a bit of quandary, I wonder who is correct. I've updated it with your new grid ref for the time being.

      Hi David,



      The thirteen stones locations in the description give accurate grid refs :- e.g. the first stone is 376658.789 424285.374 which would be a grid ref of SD7665824285 - the stone hole locations I believe were recorded with an accurate GPS so good to maybe better than a metre. I''ve simply found the centre assuming the stones were in a circle. The old location is about 90m out...



      Thanks,

      David
