Coldrum Long Barrow, Neolithic burial chamber in Trottiscliffe, England
The stone chamber structure contains fifty local sarsen stones arranged in a rectangular pattern with remaining kerb stones marking its perimeter.
Built around 4000 BCE, this burial site contained skeletal remains of seventeen individuals, including men, women, and children from early farming communities.
The site belongs to the Medway Megaliths group, which represents the transition from hunting societies to agricultural communities in Britain.
