Nearly all portal tombs have a surrounding cairn so it's likely that the one at Trethevy would have been part of the original build .Without excavation we don't know what is under the material ,there could be a revetment and there could be sockets as load bearing stones are not likely to have been just inserted into the cairn material . These were George. Stones 4 and 5. Both load bearing and sat on the bedrock or prepared stone surface. The other flankers are the same. I keep saying, not everything is the same. https://picasaweb.google.com/1[...]j8r8ib6fDw#5853697744855595762 Would they would be load bearing if the backstone was that as viewed in the standard model .? It is not uncommon for the side stones to be lightly set but the backstone whichever it was would have to have left some footprint .
