There is serious doubt as to the nature of this monument. In the 18th century it was described as a dolmen. Later research came to the conclusion that it was a natural ice-age relict, although in his newest survey of Dutch megaliths J.A.Bakker keeps open the suggstion that it might have been a megalith after all. It now has a number: U1
