This site is remarkable in that other observers think the capstone has fallen, but if you view the site carefully, you will see this is impossible, since the right flanking stone is so large that the capstone would have been at an impossibly high angle.
In fact, the megalith makers intended the site to look exactly as it does, with the angled capstone representing the break in Hydra at Alphard, and Leo, as a separate megalith, peering correctly from the background through that break.
