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.

The lateral passage (marked "E") has preserved one pair of ortho...
