Are you still not convinced?
Can’t have you going to bed only to be going over and over this. I forget the page numbers, but have a look ten or twelve pages on from that passage and you will see Fergusson refers back to the earlier para and goes on to discuss what Aubrey and Toope said about size and the bones recovered by the latter (at the Sanctuary) and then draws this into being the remains of those that fought in the battle of Kennett in 1006 (hence it fits his general Avebury is a battleground theory). There is also a rather large clue in the size quoted by Fergusson being “138 feet by 155 feet”, which is the measurement bar 4 and 6 inches of what Stukeley made of the outer ring of the Sanctuary. In this he also cites only the diameters of one not two separate circles, so of what he speaks has one oval ring inside the other. There is also another large clue in Fergusson stating that it “had an avenue 45 feet wide” of course. It is clear then that albeit he avoids the name Sanctuary (see it is absent from index) this is the site he is on about.
