A prehistoric arrangement of upright stones, often used as markers or in ceremonial contexts, is known as what?

• A. Menhirs
• B. Dolmen
• C. Neolithic Period
• D. Frame Trabeated

Answer: (A)

The concept here is upright standing stones used as markers or in ceremonial settings. These solitary or grouped upright stones are known as menhirs. The term specifically denotes standing stones set into the ground and used for marking territory, ceremonial purposes, or markers in prehistoric landscapes. Dolmens are different—they’re megalithic tombs formed by vertical stones supporting a horizontal capstone. The Neolithic Period is a time frame, not a structure, and Frame Trabeated refers to a post-and-lintel construction method, not a specific arrangement of stones. So the term that fits the description is menhirs.
