They don't tend to at all, all the stones apart from one lie on the ground and aren't even in stoneholes, this is also very odd as well.

Fair enough. So, I take it your view is that the tomb could not have got to its present shape without a major re-structuring? That movement, shifts and collapses over millennia could not have produced the current arrangement?
I've no idea whether it could or not, but to convince me I would want that (simple) explanation reasonably discounted before looking at something much more complicated as being the only 'correct' answer.

I'll be honest, it would never have occurred to me from any of the pictures of that side (and there are quite a lot on TMA) that those two stones look wrong. Obviously that's only based on looking at pictures, as you say.

Get that and Duloe on your to do list, like i said it's easy from St cleer to Duloe as well, then see what you think, and remember to look at how the stones rest on the ground.

I shall, although St Cleer is a long way from Cheltenham at current train prices.

I think a 19th century rebuild is unlikely unless they did a much better job than elsewhere down south. Three Shires stones near Bath and The Hellstone in Dorset spring to mind...

A small question/observation.
Take a look at the Northern flankers, in particular the forward (Eastern one), do you not think it's in an odd position ?
Now let's say you move it to the position currently taken by the rear (Western) flanker, and then consider structure and aesthetics.
I addressed this previously so it's not giving anything away in regards to the book.

bloody hell i thought you liked walking, it would only take a few weeks? :oD prices for everything are going up and up but a least capitalism is about to pop, so that's great news though, it's the sunshine at the end of the tunnel.

And not to blemish CE's thread further, i'd just like to say i haven't received a free copy of Roys book. :)
