A barrow or burial mound (Latin tumulus, plural tumuli; Greek τύμβος tymbos) is an elongated, round or oval pile of earth. Inside there are tombs or other prehistoric monuments. The graves can be body burials (possibly in a tree coffin), urn graves or scattered corpses. The mounds can have built-ins, e.g. B. from concentric circles, buildings (burial mounds of Trappendal), stone burial chambers or stone boxes.

Stone hills are called Cairns in English, Tumuli de pierres in French and Gravrøser in Denmark. The prehistoric barrows of North America are known as mounds, the barrows characteristic of eastern Lower Saxony are known as humpback tombs.
