Definition von megalith im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

A large stone used in such a construction

A construction involving one or several roughly hewn stone slabs of great size

a large tall stone put in an open place by people in ancient times, possibly as a religious sign (megas + lithos ). Huge, often undressed stone used in various types of Neolithic and Early Bronze Age monuments. The most ancient form of megalithic construction is probably the dolmen, a type of burial chamber consisting of several upright supports and a flat roofing slab. Another form is the menhir, a simple upright stone usually placed with others to form a circle, as at Stonehenge and Avebury in England, or a straight alignment, as at Carnac in France. The meaning of megalithic monuments remains largely unknown, but all share certain architectural and technical features suggesting that their creators sought to impose a conspicuously human design on the landscape and imbue it with cultural symbols. See also rock art

memorial consisting of a very large stone forming part of a prehistoric structure (especially in western Europe)

{i} large stone used in prehistoric construction (Archeology)

A large stone; especially, a large stone used in ancient building
