The Chestnuts Long Barrow is a Neolithic burial monument located in Kent, England, dating to the early Neolithic period. The barrow survives as an earthwork of substantial length, characteristic of long barrows of the fourth millennium BC, which served as communal burial chambers for early farming communities. The monument represents an important example of Neolithic funerary architecture in south-eastern England, reflecting the ritual practices and social organization of Kent's earliest agricultural settlers. Its survival as an upstanding earthwork makes it a significant archaeological resource for understanding Neolithic settlement and burial customs in the region.
