Passage Grave in Drenthe. In 1992, archaeologists A. Klein Wassink, J.E. Musch and J. Musch found the remains of two completely dismantled hunebeds in a clearing, immediately south of the existing hunebed D8. Unfortunately, only an inconspicuous, irregular depression remaines of hunebed D8a, which appeared near an excavated well. This well has not been investigated further. Given the size of the pit (11 x 6 m), a small hunebed with four or five pairs of side stones should be considered
