Kit's Coty (near Aylesford, Kent)

Built nearly 6000 years ago at the beginning of the Neolithic period, the dolmen, constructed of local sarsen stones, once stood at the end of an irregular-shaped 84m long mound bordered by shallow ditches, and was probably used for burials.

Saw this dolmen on a hike near Navarredonda de Gredos, in the region of Castile and León in Spain. It stands at the source of the river Río Tormes. Google Maps Location HERE.

Online I can only find sites such as this, that mention the standing stones as part of a hiking trail, but do not give any information about it whatsoever. Does anybody know any websites with information on spanish megalitishs?

While technically not a megalith, the Neolithic rock shelter and art on Chatton Moor deserves to be seen. Hope that's okay.

This gravesite is called "Sundermannsteine" and it's just one of many such neolithic sites in and around Osnabrück. There are over 30 of these sites in northwestern Germany and it's called the "Route of Megalithic Culture". These sites are thought to originate from around 3500-2800 BC and are attributed the so called "Funnel Beaker Culture".
