Date ranges The Neolithic Subpluvial began during the 7th millennium BC and was strong for about 2000 years it waned over time and ended after the 5.9 kiloyear event 3,900 BCE .

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.

The Neolithic long house was a long, narrow timber dwelling built by the first farmers in Europe beginning at least as early as the period 5000 to 6000 Anno Domini BC . ref Rodney Castleden. 1987 ref This type of architecture represents the largest free standing structure in the world in its era. Longhouse Long house s are present across numerous regions and time periods in the archaeological record. It is thought that these Neolithic houses had no windows and only one doorway. The end farthest from the door appears to have been used for grain storage with working activities being carried out in the better lit door end and the middle used for sleeping and eating. Twenty or thirty people, could have lived in each house with villages of six or seven houses known. They first appeared in central Europe in connection with the early Neolithic archaeological culture culture s such as the Linearbandkeramic Settlement patterns Linearbandkeramic or Cucuteni culture . Structurally, the Neolithic long house was supported by rows of large timbers holding up a pitched roof. The walls would not have supported much weight and would have been quite short beneath the large roof. Sill beams ran in foundation trenches along the sides to support the low walls. A long house would measure around 20 metres in length and 7 metres in width. Examples The Balbridie timber house in what is present day Aberdeenshire , Scotland offers an outstanding example of these early timber structures. Archaeological excavations have revealed extant timber postholes that delineate the support pieces of the original structure.
