	A '''megalith''' is a structure, monument, or complex erected from one or more roughly hewn, giant stone slabs. They are invariably associated with prehistoric [[human]] cultures, with the most famous example being [[Stonehenge]]. Megalithic constructions on a smaller scale include singular '''standing stones''' and '''stone circles''', which are stones clustered together in a circular arrangement.
