Kit's Coty House, Neolithic burial chamber in Aylesford, England
Three large upright stones support a massive capstone measuring 4 meters by 2.7 meters, forming a rectangular burial structure on the North Downs.
The burial chamber dates from the early Neolithic period around 4000 BC and served as a communal burial site for the ancient inhabitants.
The monument represents early British funeral practices and stands as evidence of advanced engineering capabilities of Neolithic builders in Kent.
Access requires following the North Downs Way trail from Chatham Road, with stone steps leading to a footpath through trees for 300 meters.
The structure maintains its original east-west orientation with a ceremonial entrance at the eastern end, where the deceased were introduced into the chamber.
