A type of megalithic chamber tomb characterized by a chamber without separate passage, under a round barrow. It shares features of both passage grave and gallery grave. The round mound is in the passage grave tradition, but there is no clear distinction between the entrance passage and the funerary chamber, hence the alternative term, undifferentiated passage grave. The chamber form is similar to that of the galley grave. Entrance graves are found in southern Spain, Brittany, southwest Ireland, and the Channel Isles.

A type of megalithic tomb characterized by a chamber without separate passage, under a round barrow. Although the chamber form is similar to that of the gallery grave, the round barrow is more characteristic of the passage grave tradition. Entrance graves are found in southern Spain and along the Atlantic seaboard to Brittany and southwest Britain, and on the other side of the Irish Sea in southeast Ireland.
