A burial mound (also: mound grave or tumulus) is a prehistoric mound that was used as a burial place. The mounds were raised over human remains in a pit, tree coffin, dolmen, stone coffin, burial coffin, urn, tomb or burial chamber. Burial mounds come in various sizes and were made of different materials, depending on the period and the area. The social position of the deceased also determined the type of burial mound. nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafheuvel
