Everything about Cromlech totally explained
Cromlech is a
Brythonic word (
Breton/
Welsh) used to describe
prehistoric megalithic structures, where
crom means "bent" and
llech means "
flagstone". The term is now virtually obsolete in
archaeology, but remains in use as a colloquial term for two different types of
megalithic
monument.
In
English it usually refers to
dolmens, the remains of prehistoric stone
chamber tombs. However, it's widely used in
French to describe
stone circles. Confusingly, some English-speaking
archaeologists, such as
Aubrey Burl, use this second meaning for cromlech in English too.
In addition, the term is occasionally used to describe more complex examples of megalithic architecture, such as the
Almendres Cromlech in
Portugal.
