I'm sure there's some construction term for what i've seen at Zennor, and you'd end up with 2 sealed chambers apart from their little entrance gaps, everything works a treat, and have said to you before Roy next time something brings you this way make sure you let me show you, i've always had the feeling you'll learn more about Trethevy from what i've seen, you know i'd already seen the keying points at Trethevy, Zennor and Mulfra [and of course Chun], this made me see the rest, remember Zennor turns out [if your right] to be more intact than Trethevy and therefore a pretty good blueprint for certain elements of Trethevy as well, i bet they were even built by the same group of people, i think Trethevy would also have had a facade like Zennor but it's long gone and without excavation impossible to prove.
I've not heard anyone discuss keying points on sloping stones before us Paul have you? I expect they have but I've not read of them.

No Roy as far as i'm concerned you're the first to mention them to my knowledge, i had seen and noticed them, but you're the sort to get it in a book for all to see, and when others see them after the 3D scanning of the future, i'll be the first to say "Roy was the first, look in his Trethevy book" :0} You know what "THEY'RE" like, they'll nick your idea like a shot, the keying points could end up the real find because it opens up a new world in Portal dolmans everywhere because it makes it easier it see how it was intended to be, i've done the same at Mulfra and straight away the way i now see the place is far closer to the truth than how i used to [like Chun, when really it's more like Chun and Zennor mixed together, as Mulfra could never have been a closed box like Chun, and i did think it was].
