Quick off the mark as usual Pete ;-) However, I suggest you take a careful walk down Green Street (and please note, the well in the Red Lion is 86' deep - and at that depth fed by a source that is hardly flowing 'uphill' :-)

Shall we try to keep this exchange civilised - I'm quite happy to be proved wrong but not terribly happy to be accused of talking nonsense.

do explain how this imaginary stream flows Up hill into Avebury....

I do quite often, I have friends that live in a tithe cottage near the farm (£1.50 PW)

That would be tapping into the undergound aquifer then , plenty of water there.
Wells on Green st have been capped since the houses were demolished in the 1960's.
There is even a deep well in Little Canada.
There is No source of water between the Ridgeway and Avebury except a dew pond on the hill and a seasonal pond in the farm yard.

Maybe nonsense is the wrong word.
Would Bollux be better?
