'tomb' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'cold seen by pound coming into italian city church' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'seen by pound' becomes 'l' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'coming into' indicates putting letters inside.
'italian city' becomes 'rome' (I've seen this before).
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'l' going inside 'rome' is 'romle'.
'c'+'romle'+'ch'='CROMLECH'
