Pete, you appear to be Dr. Fact regarding Avebury, so, with reference to your New Restoration post...
Pete what/where is 'the lodge'. and...
the stone that may be re-erected, what number is it? and while you're being so helpful...
The Keiller book has a plan (taken from an OS map) of the end of the West Kennet Avenue (Sanctuary end) and it shows a couple of stones by the road just down from the Sanctuary, are they still there and visible? (79b and 81b)
and finally...
Avenue stone 63b noted as being buried in 1921-2, can you tell me anything about that?
thanks.

The big white house next to the toilets by the Red Lion.

Yes they are still there. Fallen into the hedge.
Park in the layby by Kennet house and cross the road and explore the field.

Pete, mate, I've never actually seen you anywhere near the stones, every time I've seen you you've been in The Red Lion!!!
