Transepted gallery grave
Transepted gallery grave is a term used to describe a number of similar megalithic chamber tombs built across Atlantic Europe during the Neolithic period.
It refers to burial monumunts with side rooms extending laterally from a central chamber. They are found at sites in the Loire valley of France, south west Britain and in Ireland and it is thought the builders had cultural links with one another.
