Megaliths are stone structures. They were used to mark a burial site. A single large stone or several stones could be used to compose a megalith. Some megaliths could be seen above the ground, but some could be underground as well.
The practice of erecting megaliths began around 3000 years ago. This practice was prevalent in the Deccan, the south India, the north-east and Kashmir. Megaliths were probably erected to serve as a signpost. This helped in easily locating the burial site.
They were used to mark burial sites. Megaliths were found on the surface and underground. The dead were buried in those megaliths, along with various things such as pots (known as black and red ware), tools and weapons made of iron, gold ornaments, skeletons of horses, conch shells, etc.
