Can you think of anywhere there's a main big capstone and then another below it on top of the chamber itself? because Zennor's got the humps and bumps in just the right place to hold one in place, they're what me and george thought was there to stop the capstone slipping but it never even touched it until it's collapse, did you visit either 25 years ago george and did you like cornwall when you did visit?


Come to think of it , it was over 25 years ago . I lived in Bath for a while so not too bad for visits and still managed trips from London too . I loved it but not in the summer , too many punters .
Is this what you mean ?Secondary capstone
