Original description by Sunflowerbird
Not much left of the original chamber, but it does have many of its original orthostats. It sits within metres of its more impressive sister D20 on the edge of Drouwen village.

D19 Drouwen submitted by Alta-Falisa : Close-up on a capstone. The hemispherical shape is so unusual for a boulder that one may immediately think that the builders split a more common roundish boulder to "manufacture" two such hemispherical capstones. SEP.2012
