Although some of the arguments put forward are correct, the assumption that the stone circles must be The Sanctuary is not.
The stones that made up The Sanctuary were removed in Stukeley's day (Winter of 1724) and the site was only rediscovered in 1930.
What is refered to here, could be the two stone circles that stood due north of The Sanctuary, on the other side of the A4.

I'm in the process of adding some of the more dubious stone circles around Avebury to the TMA database.
Why not add these two yourself, Ocifant?
