Just a small point, but one I think would be of major significance. Over the thousands of years these stones have been in place, I am pretty sure that they will have settled and moved by significant amounts, in some cases by large amounts.

Has any account been made for this? I don't see any mention of it anywhere - but I am not looking in detail.

I mentioned this elsewhere, but it seems to be ignored.

It's very common , look at the number of collapsed examples , often due to the surrounding cairn being robbed .

I have made menion of this Captain but it has been rejected. It is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. All structures such as this settle in one way or another and for someone to suggest otherwise totally unrealistic in my opinion.
