Yes, Hackpen Hill seems to merge with Overton Hill on Stukeley's drawing - I've always thought of it as being the hill with the White Horse on it but it is a continuous ridge. Does anyone know when the term Sanctuary came into use?

Very interesting reading - thanks Ocifant.

Well Stukeley said it was the name used by the locals June but I don't know of any earlier references.
