Cromlech - A burial chamber built over 5.000 years ago. The chamber was created by setting large stones upright in the ground and placing another stone or stones on them. This skeleton of stones would then be covered with smaller stones and earth to create a mound. Over the years this would have warn away by the weather leaving the stones bare. These cromlechan, also known as dolmens were used for hundreds of years. It is thought that only bones of the dead were placed in them, often the body had been allowed to rot in the open air.
