Nigel,

Yes, your problem is common in ecology. Patch shape is the subject of many
great debates.  Of course I will mention Zajack, professor Roman Zajac at
the University of New Haven in West Haven, CT.   Otherwise, use an area and
perimeter comparison.

There is a mathematical relationship between area and perimeter, take a
graphical approach with land polygons and or parcels.  Only parcels that
have the ratio limit within a certain range will be useful for your "one
circle" approach.  Hopefully this helps.
