Yes, that last photograph supports what I was suggesting was the method that was used to place the cap. The shallow socket would have located the big stone as it was swung around. A monumental feat. Nice to see the workings out. It's certainly moving...


Its movement I have absolutely no doubt about. It may have gone in one movement initially before 'settling' and modifications then made, but my line of research is leading me to believe that further movement is ongoing. Nothing lasts forever, something we stoneheads are well aware of in this type of structure but I would hate to see it get to the point of no return. Being aware and acknowledging that fact is the first step to recovery.
