Madi kivikalme

The Madi stone chalice is an ancient chalme near the Madi farm in the village of Old Manor in the municipality of Viljandi. The cemetery has been archaeologically studied at approx. 1050 m2, which accounts for more than half of the area of the cemetery. Excavations have taken place in several stages: 1921 (led by Aarne Michael Tallgren), 1925 (Harri Moora) and 1959-66 (Juri Selirand). Remains of burns have been found in the stone chalet; most of the items date from 11 to 13.
