| The capstone at Lligwy on Anglesey is set very low to the ground on quite squat orthostats, a pit was dug beneath the capstone to increase the head room to 2m or more. Our visit:- http://www.megalithics.com/wales/lligwy/lligmain.htm This is sort of an odd halfway house between the suggested capstone dug out and supported in situ, and the standard built-on-the-old-ground-surface chamber. Although the interior space is now silted up to only around 1m tall, it does feel a little like being inside a WW2 bunker with vision slits at head height (try our VR panorama of the interior). We would love to know if the capstone was set this way by design or expediency (me back's gone Dai, this'll have to do), at 1m thick and 5m square it would certainly have been a handful. Maybe one to visit when we finally get that time machine we've been after. Reply | with quote | Posted by Megalithics 9th February 2011ce 13:44 In reply to: Browne's Hill dolmen capstone not raised?
