Just wondering what people think about the suggestion that truly massive capstones - such as that at Browne's Hill - may have been 'dug out' of the earth in situ instead of being raised upon orthostats by our crafty ancient friends...
Could a wooden 'A' frame, for arguments sake - have been able to lift such a weight? Would it have been possible from an engineering point of view?
