not laid in regular courses as in tholos 1336 but in an irregular manner. We note in the east wall, as in the other walls, that the blocks used in the lower part are relatively small, whereas in the upper part they reach much more considerable dimensions. The corbelling begins from the foot of the wall but the curve only becomes marked from a height of c. 0,60 m above the base of the wall (= c. 0,80 above the floor of the chamber) The South-East angle is well marked at the level of the first stones, but already the 2e stone is placed so as to form a corbel, abolishing the angle and or softening it to ease the transition from the square plan to the circular plan. It is possible to calculate the increase of the corbelling by projection onto the floor of the chamber east wall | at 0,60 m | projection of 0,10 m | (from the base of the wall) | | at 1,60 m | of 0,56 m In the south wall, the projection at 0,60 does not exceed 0,05 m. At 1,60 m. it reaches 0,32 m. which proves a weaker corbelling than in the east wall. In the west wall, the lower part is vertical over 0,60 m. At 1,60 m from the base of the wall, the projection reaches 0,54m
