Shrub's Wood Long Barrow, Neolithic burial mound in Elmsted, England.
The Shrub's Wood Long Barrow extends 38 meters in length and reaches a height of 2 meters at its eastern end with flanking ditches.
This oval barrow, constructed in the fourth millennium BCE, represents one of twelve known Neolithic long barrows discovered in the Kent region.
The location of this burial structure on elevated ground suggests its role in marking territories and possible herding paths for early farming communities.
The monument requires special permission from local authorities for any modifications or archaeological investigations due to its protected status.
Trees grow directly on this sub-trapezoidal tumulus, which sits on distinctive sandy sub-soil from the Lenham Beds formation.
