Hello
I added the roundabout at the position you mentionned, with highway type of 
road (up to you to change this to a proper highway type).
Please, check if my edit correspond to reality.

In JOSM you have a tool to create a circle from three selected nodes, and 
another to move nodes of an existing way in circle (must be already close 
enough to a circle if you want this to work). Then you have the roundabout 
preset in the menu.

JOSM is more complicated than potlatch, but has many advanced features and 
plugins (I recommend the utilsplugin which has some useful helpers) to do 
more complex edits.
potlatch is still fine for some quick edits, or when you're on someone else 
computer where you're not going to install JOSM.
