Until you look closely you couldn't imagine the minimal contact it has with stone 4, basically the only thing keeping it from going. :O

Other thoughts: If the fallen stone was supportive, and given it's height, that'd make it and the closure stone the only supports ?
I'm finding more questions than answers, but i'm not sure if what i'm coming up with is just pure bollocks because i'm looking so hard for something. :/
Btw Roy, do you consider the slope/angle on stone 4 significant ?
Four stones are out of position!
What ?
That involves an incredible amount of unlikely playing about with components of which there is no evidence elsewhere of anything similar , compared with the simple explanation of a one off event which has been noted elsewhere i.e. the collpase of a backstone .
The evidence to support that is going to have to be pretty overwhelming .
