The tombs are wedge-shaped in ground plan, with the widest part facing south west towards the setting sun like all tombs of this type. The setting sun is thus thought to have been of special significance to the builders 📷 Andy Corbly

The Gleninsheen wedge tombs are two #prehistoric wedge tombs located in the north central area of the Burren area of County Clare, #Ireland. Both are aligned east-west, and there is evidence of contemporary etchings on some of the stone.

Another early Anglo Saxon burial mound in the middle of Greenwich Park!
The flattened tops show they have been opened (robbed) many times in the past

Excavated circular pit at the kurgan, containing a burial.
Revova Kurgan 3 is a monumental structure in Ukraine's North Pontic Steppe. Originally an Eneolithic ritual site, it was used as a burial mound by the Bronze Age Yamna culture. Does this reuse of sacred spaces indicate cultural continuity? #TombTuesday 🏺 #Archaeology

A large white-grey limestone chambered tomb
#TombTuesday 💀 The massive limestone megaliths of the Lligwy Neolithic burial chamber survive in pasture on eastern Ynys Môn/Anglesey.
Beneath the vast capstone is a low chamber complete with natural shelves where offerings may be placed
📷 My own, April 2024
La Barbière in Crossac (Loire-Atlantique) is the remains of a passage grave. The chamber is covered by a 20-ton 4x3m capstone now only supported on 3 orthostats. The passage has 2 capstones which have slipped and now rest an angle. This card c.1905. #TombTuesday.

This is the upper half of a C2nd AD tombstone for a Roman cavalryman, found in Cumbria. Unfortunately, with the bottom half lost, we don’t know his name. His portrait shows him skewering a prone enemy with his lance, probably just as he’d like to be remembered no doubt.

Particularly piously posed pair, these two were perhaps not that much fun at parties. Effigies from chest tomb, south aisle #StMaryRedcliffe Bristol for #TombTuesday

Probably even more vibrantly coloured when made than it is now; chest tomb with effigies under cusped Tudor arch canopy flanked by pinnacles
I had an interesting day yesterday visiting the remains of 16 megalithic tombs, about which little or no information can currently be found online. Sometimes, nothing beats an old-fashioned map and a day out in the field.

Historischer Friedhof mit mehreren alten Steinkreuzen und Grabsteinen aus dem 16./17. Jahrhundert. Im Vordergrund zwei verwitterte Sandsteinkreuze mit eingemeißelten Inschriften in frühneuhochdeutscher Sprache, darunter lesbare Fragmente wie „frommer Herman" und „dar oiste Burger". Im Hintergrund reihen sich weitere aufrechte Grabsteine auf einer gepflegten Grünfläche, umrahmt von Bäumen. Die Steine sind von Moos und Flechten überzogen und zeugen von hohem Alter.
Der Kirchhof von St. Peter in Syburg bei Dortmund. Jahrhunderte alte Grabsteine findet man hier rings um die alte Kirche. Jeder erzählt eine kleine Geschichte – wie zum Beispiel vom "erbaren und frommen" Herman. #TombTuesday

Really lichen this gravestone. Sorry 😆
It loves the local limestone, so much so in this case that it was impossible to read most of the lettering...

On sunny #Anglesey last week, a wander round beautiful 12th century Penmon Priory and its associated buildings and land, beside the Menai Strait.
The older part of the churchyard has some wonderfully characterful 17th and 18th century slate grave slabs
