I've always been under the impression that the default circuit height is 1000' QFE, and anything different from this should be in the AIP? I wouldn't necessarily gripe about a lack of information, I'd just fly at 1000' QFE.
Having said that, I know of at least one airport where the circuit height, as flown by local pilots and published in the VFR flight guides, is 800', although there is no mention of this in the AIP. This is where my gripe on this subject would be.
