Passage grave

A Passage grave (sometimes hyphenated) is a tomb, usually dating to the Neolithic, where the burial -- or burials -- are reached along a -- usually low -- passage. The name usually refers to a considerable subgroup of the Chambered cairns, but there are earthen Barrows[?] which are effectively passage-graves as well.
