A walk to Kit's Coty House - Bluebell hill
Kit's Coty House or Kit's Coty is a chambered long barrow located near to the village of Aylesford in the southeastern English county of Kent. Constructed circa 4000 BCE, during the Early Neolithic period of British prehistory, today it survives in a ruined state.
Archaeologists have established that the monument was built by pastoralist communities shortly after the introduction of agriculture to Britain from continental Europe. Although representing part of an architectural tradition of long barrow building that was widespread across Neolithic Europe, Kit's Coty House belongs to a localised regional variant of barrows produced in the vicinity of the River Medway, now known as the Medway Megaliths. Of these, it lies near to both Little Kit's Coty House and the Coffin Stone on the eastern side of the river. Three further surviving long barrows, Addington Long Barrow, Chestnuts Long Barrow, and Coldrum Long Barrow, are located west of the Medway.
They were among the first ancient British remains to be protected by the state, on the advice of General Augustus Henry Lane Fox Pitt-Rivers, the first Inspector of Ancient Monuments. The site is now under the ownership of non-departmental public body English Heritage, and is open to visitors all year round.
Exploring Little Kit's Coty in Kent: Megalithic Tomb
Nigel Sadler and I are off to explore Little Kit's Coty, one of the seven Medway Megaliths. This ancient burial chamber was built in the early part of the Neolithic period from Sarsen Stones. Originally a round barrow, the earth that covered it has since been ploughed away or eroded. The stones have fallen and it offers confusion and great speculation.
In this episode we make our way down the North Downs Way from Kit's Coty House (see our previous video) and cross dangerous roads to find our quarry..

History of Kits Coty
Although badly damaged by ploughing and later vandalism the impressive entrance to the tomb still survives. It consists of three sarsen orthostats supporting a horizontal capstone with a total height of almost 3m. This would have been at one end of a 70m earthern long barrow oriented east-west. A further stone at the site known as the General's Stone or General's Tomb was destroyed in 1867 and may have come from the chamber. William Stukeley visited the site in 1722 and was able to sketch the site whilst it was still largely intact.
In 1885, Kit's Coty was one of the first sites in Britain to become a Scheduled Ancient Monument and the iron railings that surround it were added a few years later at the suggestion of Augustus Pitt Rivers. It is now in the care of English Heritage.
As only the megalithic portion of the barrow was fenced in by the railings, the long earth barrow has been continually ploughed away since, with uncovered stones dumped in woodland nearby by the farmer and the mound itself, still visible in the mid-twentieth century, now gone.

The Coffin Stone's - Bluebell hill
The Coffin Stone is a large sarsen stone at the foot of Blue Bell Hill near Aylesford in the English county of Kent.
The stone is one of the Medway megaliths lying 400 metres (440 yd) west of the Countless Stones (Little Kit Coty's House). It is a rectangular stone lying flat and measuring 4.4 metres (14 ft) long and 2.8 metres (9.2 ft) wide. Two much smaller stones lie nearby.
In 1836 local farmers found 'a sack of bones' underneath the stone. The only record of this is written; the bones are not able to be located and all other evidence is presumed destroyed. It is possibly the remains of a chambered long barrow. Further archaeological excavation was carried out in the summer of 2008 and the evidence did not suggest this, but was inconclusive.
The field is currently being planted as a vineyard and it is planned to allow public access as part of this.
In 1893, the antiquarian George Payne described the monument in his Collectanea Cantiana, noting that locally it was known as both the Coffin Stone and the General's Stone

swcwalks, swcwalk 330, Aylesford Circular. 24/4/19.
A new walk in Kent, starting on the banks of the River Medway. This 11.8 miler passes through some mixed terrain, including riverside paths; former quarries; an organic vineyard; field margins; woods and downland; a former long barrow and a former zoo! There is, unfortunately, also a section running alongside a noisy and busy dual carriageway.
Lunch is had 4 miles in at the now redundant, St Mary's church, Burham, which is now maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust.
All-in-all, a decent new walk, tarnished only by the section of North Downs Way alongside the A229.

Smythe'S Megalith
Smythe's Megalith, also known as the Warren Farm Chamber, was a chambered long barrow near the village of Aylesford in the south-eastern English county of Kent. Probably constructed in the 4th millennium BCE, during Britain's Early Neolithic period, it was discovered in 1822, at which point it was dismantled. Built out of earth and at least five local sarsen megaliths, the long barrow consisted of a roughly rectangular earthen tumulus with a stone chamber in its eastern end. Human remains were deposited into this chamber.
Archaeologists have established that the monument was built by pastoralist communities shortly after the introduction of agriculture to Britain from continental Europe. Although representing part of an architectural tradition of long barrow building widespread across Neolithic Europe, Smythe's Megalith belonged to a localised regional variant produced in the vicinity of the River Medway, now known as the Medway Megaliths. Several of these still survive: Coldrum Long Barrow, Addington Long Barrow, and Chestnuts Long Barrow are on the river's western side, while Kit's Coty House, the Little Kit's Coty House, and the Coffin Stone are on the eastern side nearer to Smythe's Megalith. Close to the site of the lost monument is the White Horse Stone, a standing stone that may have once been part of another chambered long barrow.
The site may have been ransacked during the Middle Ages, as other Medway Megaliths were. By the early 19th century it was buried beneath soil, largely due to millennia of hillwash coming down from the adjacent Blue Bell Hill. In 1822, it was discovered by farm labourers ploughing the land; the local antiquarians Clement Smythe and Thomas Charles were called in to examine it. Shortly after, the labourers pulled away the stones and dispersed most of the human remains, destroying the monument. Smythe and Charles produced, but did not publish, reports on their findings, and these have been discussed by archaeologists since the mid-20th century.

This series of seven videos is a detailed and authoritative photographic flipbook guide to all 157 miles of the North Downs Way travelling from east to west.
The North Downs Way is a long distance footpath and official National Trail, in easy reach from London, that passes through two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty: the Kent Downs and the Surrey Hills. In doing so it traverses the range of hills stretching from Dover in the heel of Kent to Farnham in western Surrey.
