Addington Long Barrow, Neolithic burial site in Addington, Kent, Great Britain.
The long barrow extends 50 meters in length and contains numerous sarsen stones arranged to form a burial chamber near the village of Addington.
Built during Britain's Early Neolithic period around 2500 BCE, the structure served as a communal burial ground for agricultural communities transitioning from hunter-gatherer lifestyles.
The monument belongs to the Medway Megaliths group, reflecting the architectural practices and burial traditions of early farming communities in southeastern England.
Access to the site requires prior arrangement with the custodian, Joan Bygrave, who provides guided tours for visitors interested in examining the ancient structure.
Recent investigations revealed a previously unknown kerbstone beneath the road that intersects the barrow, suggesting potential for additional archaeological discoveries.
