Mae'r proffil o uchder eich teithlen yn cael ei greu pan fyddwch yn defnyddio’r cyfrifiannell pellter (uchod) i dynnu llinell.

Begun in about 2500 BC, The Sanctuary was originally a complex circular arrangement of timber posts and standing stones. The Sanctuary was once connected to the stone circle at Avebury by an avenue of stones, part of which is now known as 'West Kennett Avenue'.

Today, concrete markers show where the stones and posts once stood.

The site lies adjacent to the A4, opposite the Ridgeway parking area at Overton Hill. There is a permissive footpath from The Sanctuary to West Kennett.

The site is free to visit and open at all times. It is managed by the National Trust on behalf of English Heritage.
