Coffin Stone, Prehistoric megalith near Aylesford, England
The Coffin Stone measures 4.42 meters in length, 2.59 meters in width, and 0.61 meters in height, positioned at the foot of Blue Bell Hill.
Archaeological excavations in 2008 revealed that this sarsen stone was relocated to its current position during the fifteenth or sixteenth century.
Early documentation of the stone appears in William Stukeley's 1776 publication Itinerarium Curiosum, marking its significance in archaeological research.
The megalith sits within Great Tottington Farm and visitors can reach it through a stile along the Pilgrims' Way without formal entrance requirements.
Local farmers in the 1830s discovered human bones near the stone, suggesting its potential connection to ancient burial practices in the region.
