Neolithic tomb

The main types in Northwestern Europe, particularly Ireland, include passage graves, court cairn, and menhir.

All these types of tomb were built from large slabs of rock which were uncut or worked only slightly.

The five types of neolithic tombs found in Korea include dolmen or menhir, cist, cairn, urn, and wooden chamber.

Some remains that were carbon dated showed that the interments were inserted hundreds of years after the megaliths were constructed.

In England and Ireland, many Neolithic tombs were unwittingly ruined as a result of excavation by antiquarians in the nineteenth century.
