I concur. I am an enthusiatic, passionate, intuitive and open-minded explorer of the unknown, but rather ignorant in matters of astronomy, archaeology and the neolithic era. However, I do believe there to be an excessive amount of doggedly sticking to the nomenclature of 'tombs' when there seems to be no evidence whatsoever to support such a description other than a vague similarity to other 'tombs'. Likewise the claims of this structure having been either covered or constructed using a mound or cairn, either to make the tomb claims sound more feasible or to facilitate positioning of the capstone and orthostats.

I strongly suspect that before too long we will be able to conduct the many different and specialised investigations required to reveal some of the truth, whatever that may be. In the meantime I think it would be most helpful for us all to acknowledge that we know very little about it so that we can proceed without prejudicial hinderances.
