D46 Angelslo
Date Added: 25th Jun 2012
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Would like to visit
D46 Angelslo submitted by Martin_L on 9th Aug 2010. Oblique aerial from the West. When Prof. van Giffen examined this massive 9,5m x 3,5m chamber in the early 20th century the orthostats were still in situ except for N2, but the capstones were scattered around. One capstone is missing and one is only partly preserved (now used as C1). C2 shows tool-marks from historic destruction attempts. Van Giffen assumed the entrance between orthostats S3 and S4. The position is marked "E". No traces left of a possible passage or an enclosure.

D50 Noordsleen submitted by Martin_L on 3rd Sep 2010. Pole aerial view from the South-East showing the halfway exposed 17m x 4,35m chamber [1] and the oval enclosure. The covering barrow is largely removed as well as the drywalling.
The position of the lateral entrance is marked "E". The passage is robbed except for one orthostat, but the positions of the 3 missing orthostats are marked with concrete implements.

Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Would like to visit
D51 Noordsleen submitted by Martin_L on 5th May 2009. The whole ensemble viewed from the North-East. The chamber is more than halfway filled with earth. The easternmost capstone is still in situ. Only the tops of its uprights are visible. Hopefully the picture shows a bit of the fine ambience of this beautiful site (April 2009)

D52 Diever
Date Added: 25th Jun 2012
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Would like to visit
D52 Diever submitted by Martin_L on 15th Sep 2010. Pole aerial view from the south-east. The exposed skeleton (dry-walling and intermediate slabs robbed) of the partly reconstructed passage grave viewed from the south-east. While the eastern part is probably close to the original state the southwestern-part was quite disturbed [1] and the 1950s reconstruction is possibly incorrect. Entrance marked "E". The stone marked "P" was interpreted as the only remaining passage orthostat.
[1] compare the groundplan of the heavily disturbed SW part ...
