Maybe, but would take some detective work to find out, if records do exsist. What date is the church? Pewsey church has got sarsen stones as foundations. Anyway it is a miracle so much of avebury survived.


Your post also made me consider the amount of 'upkeep' the Complex would have required when it was in 'use' hedgeling. It must have been a 24/7 job keeping it up together.
