A corbelled tomb is a generic term given to burial structures with corbelled roofs rather than simple slabs which generally denote an earlier type of construction.
In Europe they include the Mycenean tholos tomb type.

Famous quotes containing the word tomb:
“Laid out for death, let thy last kindness be
With leaves and moss-work for to cover me:
And while the wood-nymphs my cold corpse inter,
Sing thou my dirge, sweet-warbling chorister!
For epitaph, in foliage, next write this:
Here, here the tomb of Robin Herrick is.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
