No, but we know you can, your sanctuary picture stayed in my head, and looked a lot better than the silly wall they're in, Zennors pretty much complete, even the blasted stones are still there because he started building a shed with them and the capstones slipped when it's support stone was crushed or blasted, and Roy made a model of trethevy which is similar but it would be great to mess about with Trethevy on photoshop because Roy thinks/knows that stones have been moved around, all beyond me though geoff, i gave up at the zx81 stage geoff.

Well if anyone one would like me to try, and could provide the details ? I'm far from being an expert but i could give it a go.

I think this what Paul is referring to George, a 'keying point' on the top edge of the angled side flanker https://picasaweb.google.com/100525707086862773355/ZennorKey?authkey=Gv1sRgCLez7efL1YahOw#5853072210295678914 In that case , can't think of any examples where a stone survives that would fill that type of role . Thanks for your time George, it's appreciated.

Trouble is we're into Roy's book Zone again, what you'd be making is the secret of the book.

Are you referring to the packing stone at the top of the 'buttress' George?[/quote] Yes[/quote] Except I wouldn't describe it as a buttress .[/quote] Not originally no.[/quote] But I think it occupies the same position and function as it did originally .
