Passage orientation differs by approx. 6 degrees from that of chamber and ante chamber .

Chamber entrance .

Entrance to chamber , note indented/curved stone .

Backstone with narrower top allowing for sidestones to lean inwards as is common in more simple Languedocian dolmens . It was once thought that the sloping side stones were due to pressure from the surrounding tumulus , excavators have challenged this idea .

Chmaber entrance looking out .

Entrance to ante chamber .

Entrance to chamber from ante chamber , both entrance stones indented .

Angled backstone allows side slabs to be angled inwards as found with more typical simple dolemns without a covering cairn .

Ante chamber entrance , note indented slab .

Original dumb bell

Most recent dumb bell .
