If the theory is accurate, does it say something about the relationship of the timber circle of the Sanctuary and the stone circle of Avebury?


Could be - it's been suggested that the Sanctuary was a charnel house (perhaps also a slaughterhouse?) and so the link between celebrating the dead with feasting (on freshly slaughtered porkies) and preparing them for their journey into the afterlife (departed kinsfolk that is not the porkies) might be a possibility.
