D1 Steenbergen submitted by Martin_L on 12th Jan 2012. Pole aerial view from the NW. Skeleton of a 12m by 3m-3,6m passage grave. Capstone C3 (counting from the West) is damaged and was fallen when Professor van Giffen examined the site in the 1920s, but later placed back. Otherwise chambers' megalithic structure was well preserved. The chamber is more than halfways embedded into a sand dune. Clear height reduced to less than 0,6m. Possibly there also are remains of the barrow.

The text is: Thorulf, hirdmand hos Sven, rejste denne sten efter sin fælle Erik, som fandt døden, da drenge (krigere) sad om Hedeby, og han var styresmand, en meget velbyrdig dreng. (In my translation: Thorulf, guard for Sven, set this stone for his friend Erik, who were killed when boys (warriors) fought at Hedeby, and he was the leader, a very honourable boy.
Note: This is a replica. The original stone can be seen at Landesmuseum Schloss Gottorf
