Shrub's Wood Long Barrow is an unchambered long barrow located near Elmsted in Kent, southeastern England[1]. Constructed in the fourth millennium BCE during Britain's Early Neolithic period, it was built by a pastoralist community shortly after the introduction of agriculture to Britain[1]. The earthwork consists of a sub-trapezoidal tumulus flanked by side ditches[1]. As an unchambered long barrow, it lacks an internal burial chamber, representing an early form of Neolithic monument construction in southern England[1].
