Summary

Description
English: A Long Barrow. This has got to be the most impressive garden feature I've seen. In the grounds of a private residence, this is the best preserved long barrow in this area of Kent. What remains is the stone structure, which originally would have been covered by earth. 1,500 years older than Stonehenge, this is an ancient burial chamber built using local stones and originally covered by earth, with the chamber itself being between the two middle stones and the other stones supporting the earth structure. The central stones are about 3m tall and would have originally been topped by a capping stone (now just visible in the picture on the ground behind the stones). There are many other barrows in this area of Kent, but this has been re-built in the 1950s when the barrow was archaeologically investigated.
