What an eye catching arrangement. Is that deliberate, or just falling over?

This will be one of the arc-boutée allée couvertes, quite a rarity, and quite deliberate. One day I'll try and write a little bit about them, along with all the other stuff I have to do.............
But was it just lazy builders ?

It looks like an effective arrangement, so maybe "clever" builders??

It uses less stones, and is no doubt much easier to build with the stones leaning onto each other rather than with a row of two uprights and a capstone, but the internal space is very much less, and much less useable. But certainly a nice variation of architectural style.
For an even more strange style, see La Loge au Loup which has a more standard Vee dolmen built on top of an arc-boutée allée couverte. Or was the arc-boutée allée couverte built within the Vee dolmen ???
