We found that there are four different types of
megalithic structures in Mizoram. They are:
a) Standing stones(lungphun) –either singly or in alignment (hranglungphun) b) Table stones or stone seats supported by three smaller stones (Sikpui lung)
c) Stone platforms carrying a stone upright on top (lungdawh)
d) Cairns or a heap of stones (pura)
