JohnLindsay visited I've walked around here trying to work out which is which. Yeoveney Lodge might be how this is known, unless that is another that doesn't pop up. There is a model, or exhibition in the Museum of London.
I'm still trying to work out whether this is the same one as the excavation by Roberston-Makay, in 1961-3, written up in the Prehistoric Society publication in 1987.
I'm most impressed with SPARCS and their, its, engagement.
The Surrey Archaeology Collections carries a list of publications on archaeology in Surrey and the more recent volumes (for which the data isn't on the web version as they still have to be sold) are in Staines Library, and Guildford, at least.

It was built facing the Thames and measured nearly 200 metres across. For much of the year it would have been an island in the middle of the flooded Thames, Colne and Wraysbury Rivers, so both settlement and ceremonies may have been seasonal. The enclosure was used for many years, and the remains of nearly 1500 pots, over 40,000 flints, and animal bones left over from feasts were found there. The site is now under Junction 13 of the M25.
With many thanks to SPARCS (the Spelthorne branch of the Young Archaeologists Club) and Spelthorne Museum.
