Description The massive chamber is about 4 metres square, and apart from the 6 metre by 3 metre high backslab, is made using drystone vaulting.
Do I detect a curved top to a kennel entrance here on the left hand stone ? I wouldn't be surprised if this was very similar to the splendid Gallardet Dolmen.

Great site! Unfortunately the decisive parts of the entrance stones are missing, but as you pointed out: the curved top of the left hand stone and the general similarity to Gallardet are distinct hints for your thesis.
Stunning backslab.
