Mausoleums, Tombs and Mounds

Freestanding burial and memorial structures this atlas records under Monuments, Towers and Commemorative Structures: mausoleums, tombs, and earthwork burial mounds such as Monks Mound, the largest pre-Columbian Mississippian earthwork in North America. Belongs here: any mausoleum, tomb or burial mound this subcategory records. Does not belong here: an ancient monument that is not itself a burial structure, such as a pyramid or obelisk, gathered under this subcategory's own Ancient Monuments group instead.
