They got smaller I believe as the approached the Sanctuary so it may be that they were destroyed along with the circle stones. I think it would be nice to bring that end of the avenue back to life as it would to do the same at the BH end so that at least we get 'snapshots' of the larger picture. At the moment there is a big disconnection between the Great Circle and the rest I feel.

But on what evidence would you base it?
Not on old "sometimes a fibber" William's surely?!


Blimey Nige, is it being so down on everything that keeps you going :-)

The WKA is well established and adequately drawn by Aubrey at the Sanctuary end, we now know the course of the middle section at least of the BH avenue so why not re-erect a couple of stones there to indicate it and do the same, if we can detect some buried stones at the Sanctuary end that is, to again help join up the dots and give a fuller picture. Why do you see that as being a bad thing?


Happy chap isn't he?
