Coffin Stone
The Coffin Stone is the name given to a megalith near Aylesford in the English county of Kent.
Situated 400m north west of the Countless Stones. It is a rectangular sarsen stone lying flat and measuring 4.4m long and 2.8m wide.
In 1836 local farmers found two human skulls underneath the stone. It is almost certainly the remains of a chambered long barrow and is one of the Medway megaliths. Two much smaller stones lie nearby and the outline of the former barrow has been identified.
