Hi tiompan

Found this picture of the Devil's Den by WS

http://www.themodernantiquaria[...]t/66677/images/devils_den.html

Some books I have read say the capstone was re-erected in 1921 at the same time as the uprights were re-bedded and reinforced with concrete.

Haven't found anything on any finds just yet but I will look tonight unless somebody else can enlighten us.

:o)

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 .
