try and pick up a copy of Prehistoric Avebury by Aubrey Burl, its a great book about the monuments in the Avebury area, and links comparisons with other areas such as Salisbury Plain. It mentions WB in a number of contexts as well as other 'lost' monuments in the area. Might give you a wider understanding of what was around the area, and what was contemporaneous with each other.

ps, its a good read as well!

Thanks for the replies (esp Baza for the Stukeley stuff).

When you do go, please bear in mind that there is barbed wire all around this site, and the field is full of cows. It's not that accesable, desipte being right by the roadside. There is a small wooden stile in the trees though, (but syou can't see it 'till you're in the field). Perhaps the farmer dosen't want visitors?
