The hole does not seem to be artificial, but that does not mean that it was not a perhaps-serendipitous choice. The door-stone is very much like the septal slab of wedge-tombs, and the gallery has just one chamber (like a southern French ‘dolmen’), which makes the monument either hybrid or experimental in an area of much megalithic activity.
