Why are all the stones but one laid on the topsoil though?

I don't even know what Roy's theorys are yet, i'm speaking just from what i've seen myself, i'll know what Roy thinks when i get his book.

I don't see overlapping, have I missed something?

Thanks, which goes back to my question who's to say what's 'right' or 'wrong'? An overlap might offend some aesthetic sensibilities, but that doesn't necessarily make it 'wrong'.

The place you put up is nothing like Trethevy, at least use an example of something at least similar, i could show you 100's of overlapping stones at monuments, show me one in a portal tomb.

You've not even been and are looking at photo's, it looks far more wrong in the flesh.

Its a tomb from a similar age I was using as an example for overlapping stones at a tomb. Feel free to use your superior knowledge of Portal Tombs to us a more pertinent picture of overlapping stones.
