Perhaps the confusion with two entries arose because there seems to have been another stone circle nearby until relatively recently. I've been trying to find out a bit about it, without much success. The Megalithic Portal has this, which seems to suggest that there were two different sites, and one was destroyed as recently as 2001:

I also found this on the Scarborough Evening News website:

The only other reference I could find was in Cloughton Parish Council's notes from late 2001 - early 2002, which makes reference to "the stone circle at the Hulleys" being badly damaged by contractors. The Hulleys is a farm / estate, about a mile and a half East of Standingstones Rigg on the road to Staintondale and Ravenscar. No stone circle, or site of one shown anywhere near the Hulleys on my OS map though - anybody got any more on this?
