To repeat experiments conducted previously but this time using a 12 ton stone.
To test a refinement to the transport method by replacing the support track with support logs tied to the stone that move in unison with the stone and thereby alleviate the need for a track-way.
To prove how it may have been possible for Neolithic man to pick up a megalith from the bare earth in order to place support logs or sledge underneath.
To prove that working platforms, for the lever operators, that rise in line with the lintels during elevation would make the “crib method” a credible and easy way of placing the lintel stones.
Again the experiments were in the main successful but I was still unable to prove that “stone rowing” as we now called the transport method was as yet entirely credible as a way of transporting the sarsen stones.
