D15 Loon
Trip No.3 Entry No.21 Date Added: 19th Dec 2017
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Yes on 16th Apr 2005. My rating: Condition 3 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.

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.

D28 Borger submitted by Martin_L on 27th Aug 2010. The 4-capstone chamber viewed from the south-south-west. Passage-stones probably are robbed as well as the drywalling and the easternmost capstone otherwise the chamber is well preserved. No traces of a possible enclosure.

Visited: Yes on 17th Apr 2005. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
D30 Exloo submitted by Martin_L on 25th Jun 2010. Aerial from the East.
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 lateral passage (marked "E") has preserved one pair of ortho...

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.
