Talk:Cromlech

comments
Sorry, I'm french and very interested by all kinds of megalith. And there is a big difference between a cromlech and a dolmen. A dolmen is supposed to be closed. In fact, it's the name given to the stones building (burial) you find under the mound of dirt of a tumulus. As far as the cromlech is concerned, it's all about a circle made out of erected stones separated from each other. It seems to have been a place for religious celebrations. 


 * That's what we are saying - dolmens are chamber tombs and cromlechs are stone circles in France. The term cromlech is also used in Welsh for a 'dolmen' though. That is why this is a disambiguation page. adamsan 20:17, 1 March 2006 (UTC)


 * It is obviously a disambig page but the last editor removed the "disambig" tag. 69.86.6.150 (talk) 17:11, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
 * No, it is not a proper disambiguation page per WP:DAB and WP:MOSDAB. This at present looks to be like some sort of stubby overview. older ≠ wiser 17:55, 26 December 2016 (UTC)


 * OK, I'll tidy it up to be a real disambig page. It isn't really a stub article as there is no topic, just a word. 69.86.6.150 (talk) 21:48, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

"Altar-tomb"
What does "altar-tomb" mean? Dolmens are described as such here, but the Dolmen article doesn't use the term. Iapetus (talk) 14:44, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
