Thanks Scubi , it does look a wee bit different , less angled in the Stukeley.
What I find fascinating about them is the placing of the capstone at an angle and on the points of the orthostats . When in effect a trilithon would have sufficed structurally .
I assume they were going for the typical 'cromlech' look rather than accuracy and so gave it a jaunty angle.
