dolmen
A megalith consisting of a room-shaped series of slabs, including one for a roof. Dolmens were used for burial purposes. These structures date from the Neolithic and Bronze Age and it is possible that they are manifestations of a megalithic religion that spread from the Aegean. Many dolmens were covered by a barrow.
