(2006-05-17) | What an eye catching arrangement. Is that deliberate, or just falling over? | thecaptain
(2006-05-17) | This will be one of the arc-boutée allée couvertes, quite a rarity, and quite deliberate. One day I'll try and write a little bit about them, along with all the other stuff I have to do.............
But was it just lazy builders ? | nicoladidsbury
(2006-05-17) | It looks like an effective arrangement, so maybe "clever" builders?? | thecaptain
(2006-05-18) | It uses less stones, and is no doubt much easier to build with the stones leaning onto each other rather than with a row of two uprights and a capstone, but the internal space is very much less, and much less useable. But certainly a nice variation of architectural style.
For an even more strange style, see La Loge au Loup which has a more standard Vee dolmen built on top of an arc-boutée allée couverte. Or was the arc-boutée allée couverte built within the Vee dolmen ???
