No, but we know you can, your sanctuary picture stayed in my head, and looked a lot better than the silly wall they're in, Zennors pretty much complete, even the blasted stones are still there because he started building a shed with them and the capstones slipped when it's support stone was crushed or blasted, and Roy made a model of trethevy which is similar but it would be great to mess about with Trethevy on photoshop because Roy thinks/knows that stones have been moved around, all beyond me though geoff, i gave up at the zx81 stage geoff.

Are you referring to the packing stone at the top of the 'buttress' George?
Yes
Except I wouldn't describe it as a buttress .

Well if anyone one would like me to try, and could provide the details ?
I'm far from being an expert but i could give it a go.

The top of the chamber sidestones are shaped to hold a stone, this would have been a capstone to the big chamber but below the big massive capstone, it would fit fine, the little chamber would also be sealed like this and if the whole thing was corbelled it would make another chamber on top of the other two, i'm not saying it was like this but is all works fine and all thats missing are the 2 smallest capstones and the little stones from the corbelling [they'd have gone for the wall running right by the sit wrote: .
I think this what Paul is referring to George, a 'keying point' on the top edge of the angled side flanker

In that case , can't think of any examples where a stone survives that would fill that type of role .
Thanks for your time George, it's appreciated.

Trouble is we're into Roy's book Zone again, what you'd be making is the secret of the book.

But I think it occupies the same position and function as it did originally .
