Coldrum Longbarrow

"Coldrum is the best preserved of the Kent megalithic tombs. It is situated overlooking the Medway Valley and is orientated east-west with a rectangular burial chamber of four large sarsens at the east end. The eastern side has fallen down the slope, but the chamber remains and has been partially restored. The mound is surrounded by medium sized sarsen stones which form a peristalith and is about 20 metres long. At the turn of the century there was still a medial stone in the burial chamber."
