Passage Grave near Steenbergen

Easy access by car, nearly next to it (Google Map it).

Like [nearly] all hunebedden (passage graves), this one has been restored in the years 1920 by Prof. A van Giffen.
In 2012 new information panels where placed near the hunebedden, showing information in Dutch on one side, and the same information in English on the other side.

D1 Steenbergen submitted by Sunflowerbird : D1 Steenbergen Rather more difficult to find and not brilliantly signposted. However this one's quite surprising when you do as it's situated on a little dune giving it some height and grandeur. (1 comment - Vote or comment on this photo)

It may be written somewhere else, but all the same : it is worth repeating it.
The Hunebedden have been systematically surveyed and restored by Pr. A van Giffen (1884-1973), and catalogued in his essential book : De hunebedden in Nederland, 1925, vol.1 Text, vol.2 Atlas.
Most of them are in the Province Drenthe, a few (2) in Province Groningen ; one more was later added in the Province Utrecht.
Pr. van Giffen numbered them by province, globally from North to South. Hence the numbers D1 to D54, G1 and G5 and U1.
Of which the few surviving boulders of D33 have been used to supplement D49 ; D48 is no longer listed as hunebed ; G2 to G4 have also been dropped out the list.
