Monument record TR 05 SE 5 - Julieberrie's Grave, Neolithic Long Barrow, Chilham

Summary

The remains of a Neolithic Long Barrow in fields to the south east of Chilham on Julieberrie Downs. This monument has been excavated a number of times firstly in the early 18th century and most recently in 1937. During this work four Roman burials (both inhumation and cremation) and eight late 4th century coins were found in the southern part of the ditch surrounding the barrow. It was suggested that these finds may have possibly come from a pot containing a hoard of Constantinian coins, which was found in a post-hole for a fence surrounding the monument in the early C19th. Today the barrow remains in good condition measuring c.14.5m in width, c.44m in length and to a height of just over 2m, although the ditch is no longer visible. The long barrow is registered as a scheduled ancient monument.
