Not that I’m suggesting that it should reopen as an alternative to the Red Lion...
Monkton Road Cottages didn't have cellars, this perhaps refers to Uncle Albert's Grotto, the fences are still round the hole but it is now backfilled. Pete G took some snaps from a camera on the end of a noose, but it got stuck. That's the end of the noose (news) from the Avebury cellar :o)
For the sake of clarity, Uncle Albert's (brick) Grotto is close to the west wing footprint of the Catherine Wheel as demolished after the new Catherine Wheel opened at Beckhampton c.1747. Uncle Albert's Grotto was adorned with electrical cables (really).
