Addington Long Barrow is a Neolithic chambered long barrow located near Maidstone in Kent, England. The monument dates to the early Neolithic period, roughly 4000–3000 BCE, and represents one of the significant megalithic burial monuments of south-eastern England. The barrow originally consisted of a long earthen mound containing a stone-built burial chamber, constructed using sarsen stones in a manner typical of Kentish Neolithic funerary architecture. The site has been substantially damaged and modified over subsequent centuries, but remains archaeologically important as evidence of early farming communities and their burial practices in the Medway valley region.
