When a user clicks on a link with an anchor, the browser doesn't send the anchor to the web server - it just sends the page address, and when it gets the page, the browser navigates to that anchor in the page. If the anchor link is to a page that is already open (for example, an anchor within the current page), the browser shouldn't send any request at all to the server. If the page at the top of your referrer list is very long, then it might be at the top of the list because you have lots of images in the page, and the page is the referrer for every single one of those images. (I'm assuming the page in question is an "internal referrer" - a page on your own site, rather than an external page). The presence of anchors shouldn't make any difference.
