From a description of prehistoric stone structures (dolmens) in Spain:
"El del Romeral (1.800 años a.C.) se diferencia de los anteriores en que el corredor está resuelto mediante una falsa bóveda POR APROXIMACIÓN DE HILERAS."
Does this mean "with a single-file approach" or something else?

corbel vault
I ran into this one myself a while back, although mine said "hiladas" instead of hileras.
A ref. in Spanish:
La gran mayoría de las casetas catalogadas presenta una solución interior a su cubierta o techumbre conocida con el término convencional de ***falsa cúpula por aproximación de hiladas*** y que describe, a grandes rasgos, un tipo de cubierta de planta circular y desarrollo en altura a través de hiladas concéntricas de piedras que se van cerrando conforme suben presentando cada una de las piezas un ligero vuelo al interior y quedando en plano o levemente inclinadas hacia fuera.

The Diccionario Visual de Arquitectura (Ching) gives "corbel vault" for "falsa bóveda", and the illustration is what you see here:

You can see why they call it "aproximación de hileras/hiladas".
Here's the definition in English:
corbel vault
A concave formation of blocks, usually stone or masonry; the vault is formed by blocks as they project inward from the layer on which they rest.

More definitions:
corbel vault - In architecture, a vault built on the same principle as a corbelled arch.
corbelled arch - In architecture, a "false arch" bridging a gap by means of overlapping blocks of masonry. Also see corbel.

by placing the rows nearer each other
I believe this "vault" is allowed architecturally by narrowing the rows and thus there is resulting space
