CONT

The Armorican gallery graves are composed of a long chamber and a very short antechamber on the same axial line, ... but there are certain features which distinguish them: the absence of port-hole slabs, and the frequent addition of a small, closed compartment behind the terminal slab of the chamber.

DEF

[...] petite cavité souterraine [...]reliée à la chambre sépulcrale par une ouverture constituée entre les orthostats [...]

CONT

Ce couloir se termine à l'ouest, au chevet du monument, par une sorte de grotte artificielle de faibles dimensions, dont l'usage nous reste inconnu [...]. Aucun terme n'existant encore en français pour nommer une telle structure, nous l'avons appelée «muche», d'un mot du dialecte picard désignant une cache ou un souterrain creusé dans la craie.
