The Rathlacken capstone (5 tons ) was lifted out of the chamber in two (it had fallen in ) by in an inexperienced group of 4 women and three men using methods available at the time i.e. levers , ropes and rollers . Something like a Trethevy might have needed more workers but the likely cairn would have been a help . This http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/887/brownes_hill.html at 130-160 tons seems to be the limit .
