 | | Cromlech, krom'lek, an ancient Celtic place of burial. |
 | | Very frequently the cromlech shelters a burial urn or chamber, lined with stones and containing a skeleton, with weapons, pottery, and other indications that the dead were persons of rank. |
 | | These sepulchres are commonest in the territory last occupied by the Celts, as Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Devonshire, and Brittany; but they are found throughout England and many localities of the continent. |
