Dear Rhiannon,

I'm new to this, so apologies all round if this message comes up - as I suspect it will - in quite the wrong place. I'm in fact chasing a ref you gave in another posting on Ordnance Survey benchmarks at Avebury - I have found a photograph from the early 1940s of a stone at Avebury with a benchmark apparently painted onto it. Any chance you could let me know the ref for the Wiltshire Archaeological Magazine bit you quoted?

All best wishes

Kitty Hauser

Hello Kitty,
Ah I've no doubt written it down somewhere but sloppy record keeping prevents me finding it. Still, I've found this:
http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/38765
which says I read it in the 1950 volume of the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Magazine. No doubt you are miles from this journal, but I'm sure if you contacted the local studies library in Trowbridge they would look it up for you? They're very helpful when I've been in there.

good luck with the book!
