Gallery Graves

Gallery Graves refers to a specific style of burial where the deceased is placed in a long, narrow grave or tomb, often lined with stones or constructed with wall-like features. These graves typically have an open area at the top, resembling a gallery, and may be found in prehistoric European sites, particularly in Scotland and Ireland. They often served as communal burial sites for multiple individuals and have significant archaeological and historical value, providing insights into ancient burial practices and social structures. Their distinctive design reflects cultural beliefs regarding death and the afterlife.
