Built from Rock geology rock or sometimes wood , the chambers could also serve as places for storage of the dead from one family or social group and were often used over long periods for multiple burials. There are numerous terms for them depending on the period, design and region in question. Most were constructed from large stones or megalith s and covered by cairn s, tumulus barrow s or earth, but the term is also applied to tombs cut directly into rock and wooden chambered tombs covered with earth barrows.

Unreferenced date August 2008 The Neolithic tombs of Northwestern Europe , particularly Ireland , were built by the Neolithic New Stone Age people in the period 4000 2000 BC. There are four main types Passage grave s Portal dolmen s Court cairn s Wedge shaped gallery grave s Standing Stones All these types of tomb were built from large slabs of Rock geology rock which were uncut or worked only slightly. In each case, there was a doorway made from two large stones facing each other. The doorway led to an inner chamber, or a passage and chamber, lined with flat slabs. In all but the portal dolmens, the tomb was then covered in earth and small stones to make a mound. While some of these stone structures did indeed have human remains contained within them, it is erroneous to suggest that they all were tombs . It is peculiar to note that after being in use for 3 4,000 years many of these contained no bones whatsoever. Some remains that were carbon dated showed that the interments were inserted hundreds of years after the megaliths were constructed. It would seem that when the original purpose of the passage tombs was abandoned, they were adapted for use as crypts by later generations.
