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.
That's what I was saying Roy (see first post) that the track/road would have been metalled before Alexander Keiller started his work and it wasn't until that pre-war period that the profile of Avebury was raised.
Yes sorry June I missed that one :-)
Having a busted keybod I am not gng to be pedantic, but the quion once I underst it concerned aitudes to managing the mons landscape not saving ind sites & stnes. Divding the two is the 1937 campaign, which Keiller was not partto.

You and computers have a bad record VBB. You should get one of those keyboards that the army uses on the front line that will survive a nuclear attack :-)
