D8 Kniphorstbos submitted by Martin_L : The well preserved and massive 4-capstone passage-grave viewed from the SW. It has a slightly trapezoid groundplan [1]: Width is 4,3m in the West and 3,6m in the East. Length appr.. 8m. The stone marked “P” is a remaining passage orthostat.

D8 Kniphorstbos
D8 Kniphorstbos submitted by Alta-Falisa : Drenthe is one of the least densely populated provinces of the Netherlands : many quiet spots are preserved "all over the place" -- alas, not every one can boast a "hunebed". Here like in many other places, the stones circle normally surrounding the passage-grave could not be reconstructed, by lack of original stones. SEP.2012 (1 comment)

The chamber is halfway filled with earth, but all chamber orthostats and capstones are in situ. The dry-walling is robbed (as usual in areas where there were/are no quarries).
