Kerlescan gallery grave, Neolithic gallery grave in Carnac, France.
The Kerlescan gallery grave features a long corridor constructed with massive stone slabs forming a burial chamber within the Carnac stones complex.
Built around 3300 BCE, this megalithic structure demonstrates the architectural capabilities of pre-Celtic people who settled in northwestern France during the Neolithic period.
Archaeological findings within the gallery grave include polished jade axes and stone carvings, indicating social hierarchies in Neolithic communities.
The site maintains restricted access measures and uses sheep grazing to control vegetation growth while preserving the archaeological integrity of the monument.
