D51 Noordsleen
Date Added: 30th Sep 2019
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Yes on 27th Sep 2019. My rating: Ambience 4 Access 5
D51 Noordsleen submitted by Martin_L on 5th May 2009. The whole ensemble viewed from the North-East. The chamber is more than halfway filled with earth. The easternmost capstone is still in situ. Only the tops of its uprights are visible. Hopefully the picture shows a bit of the fine ambience of this beautiful site (April 2009)

D50 Noordsleen submitted by Martin_L on 3rd Sep 2010. Pole aerial view from the South-East showing the halfway exposed 17m x 4,35m chamber [1] and the oval enclosure. The covering barrow is largely removed as well as the drywalling.
The position of the lateral entrance is marked "E". The passage is robbed except for one orthostat, but the positions of the 3 missing orthostats are marked with concrete implements.

This one's a monster and in stunning condition. Easy to find, too, though I'd imagine on a nice day crawling with picnickers.

D17 Rolde
Date Added: 30th Sep 2019
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Yes on 28th Sep 2019. My rating: Ambience 4 Access 4
D17 Rolde submitted by Martin_L on 9th Nov 2009. View from the North. The capstones partly collapsed into the chamber. Probably a result of historic destruction attempts and the removal of all smaller stones and the dry walling. Nevertheless a very impressive site. The nearby site D18 is visible in the background. June 2009

D16 Balloo
Date Added: 30th Sep 2019
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Yes on 28th Sep 2019. My rating: Ambience 4 Access 4
D16 Balloo submitted by Martin_L on 25th Nov 2010. Oblique pole aerial view from the East-North-East. Length of the
9-capstone passage grave is 15,6m (clear 13,8 m). [1]
This is one of only two currently known sites with cupmarked capstones in the Netherlands: There are several weathered cup-marks on capstones C4 and C5 (counting from the West).
The site was restored: the fallen capstones were placed back on their supports.
The chamber is halfway embedded into the ground (and/or remains of the covering oval barrow).

D15 Loon
Date Added: 30th Sep 2019
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Yes on 28th Sep 2019. My rating: Ambience 4 Access 5
D15 Loon submitted by Martin_L on 26th Jan 2011. Oblique pole aerial view* from the SE. The impressive 5 capstone passage-grave has preserved most stones of its oval enclosure appr. (16,5m by 10m). Most of them are fallen. The 9,6m [1] chambers' megalithic skeleton is largely in situ except for the central capstone C3, that was partly robbed in historic times. As at several other sites in Drenthe the westernmost capstone is the largest.

D31 Exloo submitted by Martin_L on 27th Aug 2010. Pole aerial of the partly restored 4-capstone passage-grave showing its groundplan. The assumed positions of two missing chamber orthostats and two passage orthostats are marked by concrete-implements. The remains of the chamber are still surrounded by significant remains of the covering barrow.
When Professor van Giffen examined the site only the orthostats of fallen capstone C3 were preserved in situ.

Log Text: A wonderful exhibition with many beautiful finds from all over Pomerania. There is good and very cheap parking in the parking garage of the Galeria Kaskada shopping center, which is only a few hundred meters from the museum.
