Dampsmesnil gallery grave, Prehistoric burial site in Dampsmesnil, France.

The stone structure contains a central gallery with vertical stone walls and horizontal stone slabs forming the roof of the burial chamber.

The gallery grave, constructed during the Neolithic period, received official recognition as a historical monument on January 28, 1907.

The burial chamber reflects the communal practices of Neolithic communities, where family members shared a collective resting place within megalithic structures.

Located near Le Bois de Cocagne and Le Bois de la Garenne, visitors can access the archaeological site through CD 170 road.

The structure demonstrates the architectural techniques of prehistoric builders who positioned large stone blocks without mortar to create lasting monuments.
