How do you tag single (historic) burial places? I am currently looking
for a tagging scheme to structure these kind of places, but am unsure
about the wording.

My suggestions would be
* historic=grave
or
* historic=tomb

for the main tag. Subtags would then be

grave=pyramid
grave=mausoleum
grave=tumulus
grave=dolmen
grave=war_grave
grave=crypt
and others that you maybe name

and maybe also
grave=cenotaph

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mausoleum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumulus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolmen
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_grave
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypt
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cenotaph

This could be combined with historic:civilization for better description.

What do you say about the wording? Would tomb or grave be suited better?

cheers,
Martin
