nuraghe
Noun
Meaning
nuraghe (plural nuraghi or nuraghes)
(archaeology) A dry-stone round megalithic tower found in Sardinia.
Examples
Small-scale models of nuraghe have often been excavated at religious sites (e.g. in the "maze" temple at the Su Romanzesu site near Bitti in central Sardinia).
Some authors consider them somewhat older than the typical nuraghe and probably serving different purposes.
These alignments remained constant throughout the history of nuraghe.
