A man-made burial tomb.
Located near or in a village; repository for the dead between times when the remains are taken out, bū'a, for rituals to honor the dead. One kind is dug from a nearly vertical slope with a chamber opening, pantaw, closed by a large flat stone cave cover, tanglib. The cover is covered over and sealed by stone walling, tapeng. Another kind is in an L shape. A horizontal surface area is chosen. A large hole is dug vertically about 3 m. down with a chamber dug horizontally at the bottom to form the base of the L. The chamber is closed by a large stone cave cover, covered over by stone walling. The vertical access hole is then filled with earth fill, gabun, and tamped level with the ground surface. The access hole is marked by a tomb-opening border, obong 1, made of paving stones. See also gūngat.
