Passage Graves

Passage graves are graves with usually one big rectangular grave-chamber, from the east a narrow and low passage leads into the chamber itself. The graves are covered with a mound. The Graves were mass-graves: they were often used by an entire family or a village and was re-opened every time a member died.
