I have located the fallen stone circle described in Wikipedia I live nearby and have photos of the site that I took on Saturday.
The stone circle is fallen but is recognisable with 4+ stones in situ but fallen and others nearby.
The 'White Horse' (donkey) below Tan Hill fair would have been above the stone circle but as it is not yet a hot Summer I can not see the crop marks from where it was until 1926.
I hope there is a way of ensuring no further damage occurs to this site.
