Not claiming it just pointing it out.
How about this. It took me two years to discover that 'carving' yet the EH inspector that visited with me picked it out immediately but called it a polar bear. Fair do's!
It's just a chance thing I suspect partly formed when the top of the stone probably fractured when the capstone slipped over it. You can see a further fracture to the RH side beneath it.



So you believe the cap stone was raised at some point ! ;)


No, the lid slipped to the south side at the top end which is obvious when you look at the front.


Surely if it slipped enough to damage stone 5 it'd have slipped totally off ?
