the structure above the grave (very large tombstone) might make it a tomb even in absence of a vault, but I'm not sure.

A typical stećak "necropolis" looks like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/87/Stecci_-_na_Blidinji_je_nekolik_skupin_techto_nahrobku_z_14..jpg - quite different from what the Wiki says about site_type=necropolis (and from the picutre there). I was thinking about something along the lines of site_type=burial_ground.


+1 to burial ground.
