The main types in Northwestern [[Europe]], particularly [[Ireland]], include [[passage grave]]s, [[court cairn]], and [[menhir]].

All these types of [[tomb]] were built from large slabs of [[Rock (geology)|rock]] which were uncut or worked only slightly. In each case, there was a "doorway" made from two large stones facing each other.

The doorway led to an inner chamber, or a passage and chamber, lined with flat slabs. In all but the portal dolmens, the tomb was then covered in earth and small stones to make a mound.
