Does it really matter whether the Royal Circus "really" is x cubits across and whether it "really" is the same diameter as Stanton Drew and the henge at Stonehenge, and the temple in Jerusalem? and what a cubit is when it's at home.

cos the point really is that was his Intention, to use the same measurements.

or does this show up my slap=dash approach to things.

Nah - I think I agree with you, actually! In my brief search for mentions of the measurement, I've found some discrepencies... Maybe they didn't use tape measures in the olden days.

Which is pretty much why I wondered if it was something astrological. Or... is there anywhere else would people have got such accurate measurements from? I suppose feet and hands are a natural way to measure...
