Wedge
Tombs: A long burial gallery, sometimes with an antechamber or small closed
end-chamber. They are generally broader and higher at the front, which
invariably faces in a westerly direction. They are roofed by slabs laid
directly on the side-walls which often have one or more rows of outer-
walling. Evidence from the small number of excavated examples suggests
that they were being built between 2,500 and 2,000 BC representing the
last phase of megalithic tomb building.
