Doing further checking it appears that 60 meters seems to be correct ...

The Step Pyramid

Djoser’s Step Pyramid was originally about 197 feet tall, and like the rest of the structures in the complex, is made of stone brick cut to approximate the size and scale of mudbrick. [emhotep.net]

and The pyramid itself stands slightly off-center in the complex toward the south. It reaches sixty meters (167 feet - sic) in height in six layers and is the only Egyptian pyramid that has a rectangular base rather than a square base. Lauer interpreted the construction history as a series of additions. ...

Now 60 meters equals 2362.20 inches which equals 114.56 cubits using 20.62 inches per cubit.

Now this is a fascinating number as, if we continue with a circular theme at Sakkara, this number, 114.56, can be said to equal the diameter of a circle of 360 units. (actual = 359.90). To get 360 exactly we would need height to equal 114.59 cubits of 20.62 inches or 2362.88 inches or 60.017 meters or 196.91 feet.

So was the circle incorporated at Sakkara other than in the enclosure wall. The evidence would seem to make it a very good possibility.
