Don't if Avebury is one of these - but it seems very wobbly! A lot of the oldest circles (well those where I live anyway alongside Bodmin Moor), seemed to have been marked out like more of a demarcation exercise rather than a perfect circle. Liken it to kids marking out an area to play footy in. It's just an area that they 'did' something in rather than a precise space. I wonder if the later smaller circles which were on the whole perfectly circular were more in the way of being a representation of what they did in the 'old days' when an important function was once carried out in them but now used more in the way of celebrating a past belief. Just a thought.
