But my question remains, is there not a simpler way the tomb could have got to how it is, without a major move-around of the stones being needed?
In most sciences, people would expect to test the simple explanations first and be prepared to dismiss them if they can be demonstrably shown to be wrong. That doesn't seem to have happened here and I can't help feeling that everyone is favouring the more complex theories because no-one wants to offend Roy or criticise his work. I get that, but if his theory is to be accepted in wider circles, it will need to stand up to much more scrutiny and analysis than my ham-fisted comments.
Errr you are not the only to criticise . I've been doing so from day one .

I have the book. You do not, yet seem happy to say (without having read it) that you're already bored with it...

The other quoits near it have stoneholes though for what that's worth, you can't help noticing how weird it looks at trethevy because they are just sat on the soil, there's not even a lowering over 5000 years, it does look very odd George, what it means i don't really know.

Please don't put words in my mouth. ( your not very good at it) I am bored with this thread to the point I wouldn't buy the book.
Tedious, is a word that comes to mind. And you really don't help the cause.
Folk, if your interested, please buy Roys book.

I'd say your opinion would be more valid if people had some idea who you are. Off hand i don't think i've seen any contributions by yourself ie pics posted, field notes etc or your general location etc. Added to your negativity on just about everything you come across as very troll like, imo.

You said here that you wouldn’t be buying the book because you got bored with it already. How is that putting words in your mouth?

I can see it on them yes, not sure about Poulnabrone though as it's pretty flush, but to me the gap above the stone at Trethevy is way to big, the overlapping is something that does happen a lot [i did know this to be honest but couldn't think of anywhere] but trethevy seems a lot like Zennor and it's stones are pretty flush, Portal tombs and all there types are funny old beasts aren't they? i've always been a stone circle man but these places have grapped me since moving down here, very special places indeed.
