Böksta Backe submitted by SolarMegalith on 13th Sep 2016. The horseman with spear might be Odin with his spear Gungnir, but the horse has only four legs, unlike eight-legged Sleipnir, the horse of Odin in Norse mythology (photo taken on August 2016).

Anundshög Skeppssättning submitted by cereus on 28th Feb 2004. Badelunda shipshaped stone circles. Probably graves from around 1000 AD. Not excavated. In this area people began to settle 2500 BC. There is more to see here. Among other things a maze. I haven't seen it myself yet. Planning to go there as soon as the snow is gone!

D15 Loon
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.
*Foreground slightly stretched in this one as a result of wide-angle lens

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...

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

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