I think our posts just crossed - have just said something similar using more words. 1937 would correspond with Alexander Keiller's work.

I've not looked it up (yet) but didn't Keiller's work in the Avenue commence around 1934/5 before he began in the NW sector of the Great Circle? His Windmill Hill excavations were earlier around the mid 20's.
