The Steen van Noordbarge (Noordbarge Stone) is a glacial erratic that was in the past wrongly identified as a hunebed (passage grave). When Albert van Giffen was cataloguing the passage graves in Drenthe he listed this site as D48. When it turned out to be a single erratic, D48 was removed from the list. Because D33 (a real hunebed) was destroyed, Drenthe now has 52 hunebeds left, numbered D1 to D54. This stone has a sign in Dutch saying "The fat(test) stone in Drenthe" !
