Go out of Emmen on the Odoorn road into the suburb of Emmermeer and on the side of the road is this wonderful monument. Hundreds of motorists must pass it every day.

D30 Exloo submitted by Martin_L on 27th Jul 2010. The site viewed from the SW.
Chamber length 7,3m (clear 6m)
Width varies from 3m to 3,4m (clear 2m)
The chamber is deeply embedded into the sandy ground. All orthostats were (and still are) preserved in situ when van Giffen examined the site in the early 20th century. Capstones C1 (counting from the North) and C2 were robbed, C3 was fallen and C4 in situ. Obviously C3 was placed back on its orthostats and C2 probably was replaced. The passage has preserved one pair of orthostats.

D31 Exloo submitted by Martin_L on 27th Aug 2010. Pole aerial of the partly restored 4-capstone passage-grave showing its groundplan. The assumed positions of two missing chamber orthostats and two passage orthostats are marked by concrete-implements. The remains of the chamber are still surrounded by significant remains of the covering barrow.
When Professor van Giffen examined the site only the orthostats of fallen capstone C3 were preserved in situ.

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.

D23, D24 and D25 stand in a little copse about 50ms from D21 and D22.
D23 is really just a dolmen now, with a couple of other stones scattered around.

D22 Bronneger submitted by Martin_L on 12th May 2009. 5 orthostats and 2 large capstones are left of this passage grave. Possibly in situ. But the chamber is deeply hidden in the ground. Only the 2 capstones and one orthostat are visible nowadays. There is an enormous tree growing beside the tomb. All in all a very atmospheric site. (May 2009)
Remark: the lens hood was removed to get some lens flares.

Beautifully situated at the edge of a small wood. (May 2009)

D19 Drouwen submitted by Sunflowerbird on 10th Mar 2005. Not much left of the original chamber, but it does have many of its original orthostats. It sits within metres of its more impressive sister D20 on the edge of Drouwen village.
