D12 Eext submitted by Martin_L : Pole aerial view from the East-South-East. Missing orthostats are marked (partly overgrown). The northernmost capstone C1 is robbed, C2 is partly preserved while C3 and C4 are almost in situ. The surfaces of C3 and C4 are decorated with several cup-marks. This is one of probably only two rock-art sites in the Netherlands. August 2010
