Volume: Avebury Stone Circle, Wiltshire

Description

194 sheets ranging from the early- to late-twentieth century, covering Avebury Stone Circle, the Sanctuary, Windmill Hill, West Kennet Avenue, West Kennet Long Barrow, and Silbury Hill, as well as buildings in the village including the Lodge, the Great Barn, the Alexander Keiller Museum, Perry's Cottage and Green Street Barn.

There are a number of drawings relating to the re-erection of stones on West Kennet Avenue, dating from the early twentieth Century. There are a range of annotated copies of Ordnance Survey maps from 1924, showing the various sites.

There are several plans of Avebury Stone Circle from the mid twentieth Century, some of which are based on Ordnance Survey maps. Others are based on H St George Gray's plan from 1935, and show the location of standing stones, stone holes, and fallen stones.

There are several copies of H St George Gray's plan of Avebury Stone Circle and the village, published by the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1935. Several plans from May 1943, produced from Ordnance Survey maps, show the guardianship areas around the stones at Avebury.

Seven sheets of guidebook plans produced by the Department of the Environment in 1975 show Avebury Stone Circle, West Kennet Long Barrow, the Sanctuary and Windmill Hill. A number of sheets from between 1978 and 1980 relate to the conversion of Green Street barn to an education centre.

There are also ten sheets produced as part of a topographic survey of the site in 1990 by AMC Limited on behalf of the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England. There are four sheets of photogrammetric sections of the Cove Stones at Avebury, produced in November 1997.

See also PF/AKM, PF/SAT and PF/AKM for other plans of the Alexander Keiller Museum, the Sanctuary and Silbury Hill, respectively.
