They are both very similar to those of Europe. To resume, dolmens, called HUNENGRABER in Germany, STAZZONA in Corsica, ANTAS in Portugal, and STENDOS in Sweden, have all alike one large flat horizontal slab placed on two or more upright unhewn stones. This is the one fixed rule; local circumstances, perhaps even the caprice of the builders, decided the position and the mode of erection.
The HUNENGRABER, formed of huge blocks of granite set up at right angles to each other, resemble the covered avenues of France and elsewhere; in the so-called RIESENBETTEN, or giant's beds, on the contrary, the sepulchral chamber is merely sunk in the ground. We must also mention the so-called GROTTE DES FEES, or fairy grotto, forming part of so many of the megalithic monuments of Provence.
