Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
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)

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.

A bit trashed and certainly not the most majestic of hunebedden, but a charming, idyllic rural location.
