Crugers are a type of ancient burial mound found primarily in the British Isles, particularly in Wales and Ireland. These structures are typically made of earth and stones, and they often contain the remains of individuals or groups. Crugers are significant in understanding prehistoric burial practices and the social structures of ancient communities. The term "cruger" is derived from the Welsh word "crug," meaning "hill" or "mound." Many crugers are associated with Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures, reflecting the rituals and beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife. Archaeological studies of crugers provide valuable insights into the lives of early inhabitants of these regions.
