I may have misunderstood but if not . Zennor doesn't have an equivelant stone going from back to front creating two chambers as Roy has proposed for what I would call the backstone at Trethevy .
One other thing that effects both PT's and others is that there is no doubt that they had cairns , maybe up to the capstone in some cases but they needen't have went all the way up , and sloping sidestones could have been much as we see them today i.e. providing access and not necessrily "filled in ", why use them in the first place ? They could be an important focal point like no sidestones or the sloping capstone .
