"Pinkman: Tuaim = A tomb or grave Tuaim, like the cognate Latin word tumulus, means, primarily, a hillock, but in a secondary sense the word was used to denote the mound, or tumulus, of earth and stones, raised over a grave. Tuaim seems to have differed from the carn in this – the ‘carn’ was made of stones usually fairly large ones, the ‘tuaim’ was made of either earth or stones. "
