Little Kit's Coty House

Little Kit's Coty House, Neolithic dolmen in Tonbridge and Malling, England

Description

Little Kit's Coty House is a Neolithic burial chamber with between 19 and 21 sarsen stones scattered across the ground in an irregular pattern. Some stones stand upright while others lie flat on the earth, creating an open arrangement without clear walls.

History

The burial chamber was built around 4000 BCE and stands as one of the earliest examples of monumental architecture in Early Neolithic Britain. It belongs to a series of megalithic structures that were raised across the region over many centuries.

Culture

The site belongs to the Medway Megaliths, a group of stone monuments built during the shift from nomadic hunting to settled farming life. These structures reflect how communities began to establish permanent places and pass down their knowledge to future generations.

Practical

The site is reached via a footpath that connects to the intersection of Pilgrim's Way and Rochester Road in Kent. It sits in an open area and is easily accessed on foot, though sturdy shoes are recommended for walking across the field.

Did you know?

Local folklore claims that anyone who tries to count the scattered stones will never get the same number twice. This tale has persisted through generations and adds a layer of mystery to a visit to the site.
