The Grey Mare and her Colts
The Grey Mare and her Colts, Chamber tomb in Long Bredy, England
The Grey Mare and her Colts features a rectangular mound measuring 24 meters in length with four large Sarsen stones forming the burial chamber.
The tomb was constructed between 3400 and 2400 BC during the Neolithic period, representing early agricultural communities in prehistoric Britain.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed human remains, pottery fragments, and flint tools, indicating specific burial practices of Neolithic societies.
Located at the head of a dry valley, the monument can be reached using Ordnance Survey maps and connects to nearby prehistoric sites.
Three Sarsen stones stand upright while one lies flat, with an additional horizontal slab believed to serve as the original chamber capstone.
