A museum in Delfzijl focussing mainly on the sea and shipping but it also has an archaeological section containing finds from the area including the last hunebed (passage grave) to be discovered in the Netherlands. This hunebed, G5 Heveskes, was discovered in 1982 and is the northernmost hunebed in the Netherlands.

A cist was discovered with the hunebed. The cist was moved to the Hunebedcentrum in Borger and the hunebed was moved to the museum in Delfzijl.

The hunebed is sometimes referred to as G2 because it is one of only two remaining hunebeds in Groningen, the other one named G1. But G2, G3 and G4 were used by Van Giffen to identify destroyed hunebeds (which is inconsistent with his naming of hunebeds in Drenthe), so the official name is G5.

Whatever you choose, G2 or G5, it is not Heveskes but Heveskesklooster, e.g. the monastery of Heveskes...
