Long Barrows in France
10 sites recorded, with photos, maps and visitor reports
Elongated roughly rectangular structure that may contain many burial chambers. Long barrows appear to have been in constant use with burials being added over a period of centuries, the old bones being moved around to accommodate the new interment. It is thought that bones may even have been removed for ritual use, particularly the skulls and leg bones. See also the separate listings for Chambered Tomb and Chambered Cairn.
