Chance wrote: 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. See the Wiltshire sites and monuments listings, SU16NW556 http://history.wiltshire.gov.uk/smr/getsmr.php?id=14198 and SU16NW564 http://history.wiltshire.gov.uk/smr/getsmr.php?id=14206 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? Chance The description is of a double circle /oval with a single dimension 155x 138 feet , not the two separate circles which according to the references are only 22m apart .Which would suggest that one would would be subsumed by the other . Neither have a recorded avenue and has been pointed out the orientation towards Silbury ,even allowing for antiquarian inaccuracy ,is wrong .
