Thanks for that, I can see what you mean now.

But your plan (an extra chamber at the west end of Zennor) seems different from what Roy is suggesting for Trethevy, unless I've misunderstood that. I think Roy is suggesting that the "existing" chamber at Trethevy was subdivided into two (by the sloping stone), whereas at Zennor you're adding another chamber beyond the "existing" chamber rather than dividing it into two.

That's correct for me Alken but the chambers were for different purposes I suggest. Which reminds that when I have a re-run I must add a little more about the top chamber which I should have included. Will explain more when the book has been in circulation longer.

I didn't know what Roy was saying because i'm waiting for my book and didn't want any spoilers, i was just saying Zennor has 2 , and with trethevy been close and very similar it would make sense also having two, are your wages so low that it won't stretch to 8 quid? i can hear the moths wings from here :OP
