noun
A somewhat literary or old-fashioned term for a cemetery, especially one with many tombstones. In modern Japanese, 墓地 (ぼち) is more common.
古い小説に「卵塔場」という言葉が出てきた。
The word 卵塔場 appeared in an old novel.
村はずれの卵塔場には古い墓石が並んでいる。
Old gravestones stand in a row in the cemetery at the edge of the village.
墓地 is the standard modern word for 'cemetery' or 'graveyard'. 卵塔場 is a rarer, more literary alternative.
The exact derivation is uncertain. The kanji 卵 (egg) and 塔 (tower/pagoda) may refer to the shape of tombstones, but this is speculative.
