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

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.
*Foreground slightly stretched in this one as a result of wide-angle lens

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).

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

Very close to D23 and badly trashed D24 in a copse near to D21 and D22, D25 is a very sweet hunebed of the smaller type.

D28 Borger submitted by Martin_L on 27th Aug 2010. The 4-capstone chamber viewed from the south-south-west. Passage-stones probably are robbed as well as the drywalling and the easternmost capstone otherwise the chamber is well preserved. No traces of a possible enclosure.

D30 Exloo submitted by Martin_L on 25th Jun 2010. Aerial from the East.
Chamber length 7,3m (clear 6m)
Width varies from 3m to 3,4m (clear 2m)
The chamber is deeply embedded into the sandy ground. All orthostats were (and still are) preserved in situ when van Giffen examined the site in the early 20th century. Capstones C1 (counting from the North) and C2 were robbed, C3 was fallen and C4 in situ. Obviously C3 was placed back on its orthostats and C2 probably was replaced. The lateral passage (marked "E") has preserved one pair of ortho...

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: It is not one of the most beautiful graves in the area but I visited it this morning in beautiful autumn weather and that made the ambience to something special.
