Panteó arc-cova
This is a type of burial site. I am translating "panteó" as "mausoleum" but not sure about the "arc-cova" part. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Comment: "Thanks so much Ross! In the end I used "arched burial vault" because I saw that vault can also be the rectangular "boxes" that coffins are placed in for protection. I had no other context unfortunately, since it was from a list, but now I know what they are talking about. Gracias!"
