This one shows the two overlapping stones you mean (I think!)

Does that arrangement look right to you Alken ?

I've never been and I'm not an expert, so I'm not the person to ask. :)

But my answer would be, who's to say what's 'right' or 'wrong'? By overlapping the stones, the chamber is sealed on that side, which is at least functional. Assuming there may have been a mound, I'm not sure that the aesthetics have to be the most important aspect of that particular part of the tomb.

Looks fine to me, but then I've seen it elsewhere...
