Belas Knap - Chamber C

The roof of chamber C.
The chamber would originally have had a corbelled roof, but the reconstructors chose to use slabs to roof
all of the chambers. Bizarrely they have embedded pieces of local stone in the concrete giving the appearance
 of a roof that could never have existed in reality. If they had just textured the concrete to resemble a large stone
slab, the result would have been more plausible, if ultimately inaccurate.
