44/52 Gallery grave La Roche aux fées

weektheme:Cemetery/Graveyard

 

A Gallery grave is a form of megalithic tomb where there is no size difference between the burial chamber itself and the entrance passage. Two parallel walls of stone slabs were erected to form a corridor and covered with a line of capstones. The rectangular tomb was covered with a barrow or a cairn. Most were built during the fourth millennium BC, though some were still being built in the Bronze Age.

 

 

This one is la Roche aux fées in Brittany, France
