Jacket's Field Long Barrow

Jacket's Field Long Barrow is an unchambered long barrow located near to the village of Boughton Aluph in the south-eastern English county of Kent [1]. It was probably constructed in the fourth millennium BCE, during Britain's Early Neolithic period [1]. Built out of earth, the long barrow consists of a sub-trapezoidal tumulus flanked by side ditches [1]. Although representing part of an architectural tradition of long-barrow building that was widespread across Neolithic Europe, Jacket's Field Long Barrow belongs to a localised regional variant of barrows produced in the vicinity of the River Stour [1]. Of these, it lies on the western side of the river, while Julliberrie's Grave and Shrub's Wood Long Barrow are found on the eastern side [1].
