English term or phrase: table graves
Contesto: These catacombs show similarities between Malta and the Eastern countries in the way people were buried.‭ ‬Similarities include the saddle-back covers of the table graves and also the knobbed slabs which were used to close the graves.

Pensavo di tradurre tombe a tavolo per via di alcune foto che ho trovato di tombe realizzate come un tavolo, ma mi sembra troppo letterale...

Grazie per l'aiuto!

'a lastra', è al singolare, non al plurale.
