I was only pulling your leg, and his. Although he did draw the Sanctuary as egg shaped so I'm entitled to be wary of him.

I'm actually a big fan of his and I think the reason so little of the B Ave has been found is that the stones were placed on not in the ground. Ditto WKA maybe.

Having said that, I'm not the myseryguts you're portraying me as, I'm merely reacting as mainstream archaeologists would, so my conscience is mighty clear. Try writing to any of them. I bet you they'll sound as negative as me.

Here's some more negativity. If I drove to Avebury from Malboro and arrived at the World's second greatest WHS and the first thing I saw was a modern mock up of a stone circle and a modern mock up of an Avenue, all Las Vegas-like, I'd think it was a right dive!
