Hi there
That's just what I was going to say. [SX 667 865.]
I'd worked it out as a 'guesstimate', and was just going to take another look at The Captain's link before confirming!
Sorry I hadn't got around to replying before, but have been busy.

As it's viewable from the moor I think it's acceptable to add a site page for it. What's the grid ref or long/lat?

Was up there this morning, and you don't have to trespass anywhere to see this circle.
I have several photos taken looking over the wall that separates the open moor with the field where the circle stands.
The hexagonal thingy is a plantation of trees.
The stones are great and the view from there down over the valley is superb.
Well done the Edmonsons!

(I edited my previous remark after hearing what my friend had to say.)
These aerial google views, etc., are great but it's a shame about the intrusion into peoples' private property. There isn't any right of access to their land and they no doubt chose the area to be assured of privacy to enjoy their lives away from the spotlight.
Anyway...
Did think Ade was wonderful in his version of The Dying Swan in last night's Dancing for Comic Relief final!!
Surprisingly graceful [!] and hilarious at the same time: the combination of his dead-pan expression (mostly open-mouthed), with the glasses, bald head and tutu.... 
Rik Mayall added a good twist at the end, too.
Thinking about it .. all these people have homes in Devon.

If I could drive, I'd have been down there this weekend, but that is still quite some time away 
Have to say that meeting Ade Edmondson, who has been a favourite of mine for 30 odd years, would be a great thrill for me too ! So perhaps I should go and have a proper look !
Answers to other questions.
No idea what the polygonal areas are - probably different planting as said.
The small circle to the east, at the intersection of hedges is a bronze age round house, with its associated reaves (field walls) adjoining it. It has clearly been "excavated" or cleared out in recent years.
Bing map is much older and less clear. It has the stone circle, but not the polygonal objects, nor the cleared roundhouse.
Must get to see The Bad Shepherds sometime.

Someone's put it on Panoramio (taken from the moor by the look of it) so I think we're entitled to mention it
