G5 Heveskesklooster
G5 Heveskesklooster submitted by hamilton : Hunebed G5 Heveskesklooster, now situated in the MuzeeAquarium at Delfzijl, seen against an illuminated background illustrating the times of the hunebed builders. (Vote or comment on this photo)
In 1982, during excavations at the site of a former monastery in the village of Heveskes, archaeologists discovered the remains of a previously unknown hunebed. As the site was earmarked for industrial development, the stones were removed for safety and eventually placed on display in the MuzeeAquarium in the nearby town of Delfzijl

This hunebed turned out to be of a unique type, its passage possessing only a single endstone, the other end being the entranceway. The hunebed was officially named as G5 Heveskesklooster because sites of three long-vanished hunebedden (G2, G3 and G4) had already been established by archaeologists.

As a result of discoveries of a few flints, axes and amber beads dating from the Funnel Beaker Culture it was determined that the hunebed was originally constructed around 3400 BCE.
