Laitlynglot is situated about 25 km from
Shillong by the side of the Iew Shillong, in
East Khasi Hills District of
Meghalaya. The place is famous as home to groups of clustered Menhirs (Mawbynna Shynrang) and Dolmens (Mawbynna Kynthei) of very impressive sizes.
The Menhirs and the Dolmens remain as fine specimens of the unpolished stone technology or culture. In total, there are about 60 Menhirs and 20 dolmens in a cluster. The biggest of these Menhirs is about 5m in height, 1.50m in breadth and 0.05m in thickness. The largest of these dolmens is about 9.25m in length, 3.25m in breadth and 0.50m in thickness.
The monument is said to have been associated with the establishment of the Iew Shillong market. These are of great use to the scholars in the study of Stone Technology Transition.
