Julliberrie's Grave, Long barrow in Chilham, England
The earthen burial mound measures 44 meters in length, 2 meters in height, and spans 15 meters at its widest section on the downs.
Early Neolithic farmers constructed this long barrow in the fourth millennium BCE, marking a shift from hunter-gatherer communities to agricultural societies.
The name connects to local folklore suggesting the burial of a Roman general, though archaeological evidence indicates different uses through multiple periods.
Visitors can access the scheduled monument year-round by following a dead-end road to a wooded area near the railway lines.
A broken polished stone axe discovered at the center of the barrow indicates ritual practices common across Britain and Northern Europe.
