G1 Noordlaren submitted by Sunflowerbird on 9th Mar 2005. Noordlaren
Just over the border from Drenthe into Groningen province lies what remains of the G1 hunebed at Noordlaren. Actually, its just outside the village down a well signposted track in a small copse on the edge of wide fields. What's left is possibly only 15% of the original hunebed and is pretty impressive in its own right.

Visited: Yes on 2nd Mar 2019. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 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.
*Foreground slightly stretched in this one as a result of wide-angle lens

D17 Rolde submitted by Martin_L on 9th Nov 2009. View from the North. The capstones partly collapsed into the chamber. Probably a result of historic destruction attempts and the removal of all smaller stones and the dry walling. Nevertheless a very impressive site. The nearby site D18 is visible in the background.

9-capstone passage grave is 15,6m (clear 13,8 m). [1]
This is one of only two currently known sites with cupmarked capstones in the Netherlands: There are several weathered cup-marks on capstones C4 and C5 (counting from the West).
The site was restored: the fallen capstones were placed back on their supports.
The chamber is halfway embedded into the ground (and/or remains of the covering oval barrow).

This one's a monster and in stunning condition. Easy to find, too, though I'd imagine on a nice day crawling with picnickers.
