burial grounds
Where bodies rest
Burial grounds are places where the dead are interred—cemeteries, graveyards, or similar sites dedicated to holding human remains.
The term often carries connotations of age, sacredness, or cultural significance: ancient burial grounds, Native American burial grounds.
Development projects sometimes halt when burial grounds are discovered on the site.
