Khirigsuur, also KheregsüürorKhirgisuur, is a type of Bronze Age burial, encountered in Mongolia. It is composed of a central stone mound with a stone burial chamber generally beneath it, a stone enclosure, and external mounds and circles on the periphery.[1] Etymologically, the word "Khirgissur" is linked to the word "Kirgizstan".[1]
In Mongolia, Khirgisuur burials are frequently associated with Deer Stones, to the point that the "Deer Stone culture" is often called "Deer Stone-Khirgisuur Complex” (DSK)".[2]
Archaeologically, Khirgisuur burial sites belong to an earlier archaeological period compared to that of the Deer Stones, but they were appropriated by Deer Stone builders.[3]
The Khirgisüür, etymologically linked to Kirgizstan, is a burial monument consisting of a central stone mound, stone enclosure, and external satellite mounds and circles. A stone burial chamber was usually found under the central stone mound.
