And there are others as well as Chun but it is not the usual . Noteworthy that Chun doesn't have the sloping capstone but some of the stones do have sloping edges and you could rearrange them to make a sloping box from the flat pack if necessary .
Colin Richards and Vicky Cummings have suggested that supporting sidestones are just held in place by the force of the weight of the capstone and just need a bit of cairn support prior to capstone erection an am yalso len against backstones and portal stones .This seems to be borne out from excavations at Clonlum and Melkagh

He [TSC] seemed to think i knew what Roy's book was about, he didn't even know i was just speaking for myself, I've got a idea, Roy's got a idea, you've got an idea, George has got an idea, probably all different, what the hell is he on about?

It has nothing to with sales but everything to do with a better understanding of Trethevy Quoit. Do you have anything to offer in that respect?

Some other overlapping sidestone ,sometimes it's just on one side .http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/2963/tirnoney.html

If the backstone was in place then wouldn't it mean that the capstone was not resting on the sidestone ?

No more than you. It is about the sales. Hell, Buy the book, then we can discuss it.

I'm one of the most polite people you could ever meet in the flesh [as long as i'm sober], your preconceptions are very funny and prove that no one comes across on here as they really are.
