I know absolutely nothing about this type of monument other than a knowledgeable guess as to how the capstone was placed. (In the same way as a bottom through in a N Pennine wall).

That's interesting SG, care to elaborate as I know nothing of North Pennine walls?

No, I'll not elaborate! (You'll have to bribe me!) Most of the walling videos on YouTube show poorly made wall but this one ( http://youtu.be/PonlbjLyvpE ) shows decent construction. It must be commonsense that the monument building skills will have survived in drystone walling and country masonry, which are now becoming extinct despite the conservation volunteer propaganda.
