Very close to D23 and badly trashed D24 in a copse near to D21 and D22, D25 is a very sweet hunebed of the smaller type.

This one's a monster and in stunning condition. Easy to find, too, though I'd imagine on a nice day crawling with picnickers.

Log Text: This rather small but preserved megalithic grave can also be reached via a longer dirt road. Cars are better only driven to the grave with four-wheel drive.

D17 Rolde submitted by Martin_L on 9th Nov 2009. View from the North. The capstones partly collapsed into the chamber. Probably a result of historic destruction attempts and the removal of all smaller stones and the dry walling. Nevertheless a very impressive site. The nearby site D18 is visible in the background. June 2009

Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Yes on 13th Apr 2024. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
D16 Balloo submitted by Martin_L on 25th Nov 2010. Oblique pole aerial view from the East-North-East. Length of the
9-capstone passage grave is 15,6m (clear 13,8 m). [1]
This is one of only two currently known sites with cupmarked capstones in the Netherlands: There are several weathered cup-marks on capstones C4 and C5 (counting from the West).
The site was restored: the fallen capstones were placed back on their supports.
The chamber is halfway embedded into the ground (and/or remains of the covering oval barrow).
August 2010...

Date Added: 18th Apr 2024
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Yes on 13th Apr 2024. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 4
D15 Loon submitted by Martin_L on 26th Jan 2011. Oblique pole aerial view* from the SE. The impressive 5 capstone passage-grave has preserved most stones of its oval enclosure appr. (16,5m by 10m). Most of them are fallen. The 9,6m [1] chambers' megalithic skeleton is largely in situ except for the central capstone C3, that was partly robbed in historic times. As at several other sites in Drenthe the westernmost capstone is the largest.
