Medway megaliths, Archaeological site in Kent, England.
The Medway megaliths consist of seven Neolithic chambered tombs constructed from sarsen stones along the River Medway valley in Kent.
Built between 4000 and 3000 BCE, these structures represent the only collection of prehistoric megalithic monuments found in eastern England.
The monuments include Coldrum Stones, Addington Long Barrow, Kit's Coty House, and other burial chambers that reveal early farming community practices.
Visitors can access several of the megalithic sites through marked paths, with the Coldrum Stones offering the most complete preservation.
Each megalith contains specific architectural features, including standing stones supporting large capstones and surrounding stone circles called peristaliths.
