D52 Diever submitted by Martin_L on 15th Sep 2010. Pole aerial view from the south-east. The exposed skeleton (dry-walling and intermediate slabs robbed) of the partly reconstructed passage grave viewed from the south-east. While the eastern part is probably close to the original state the southwestern-part was quite disturbed [1] and the 1950s reconstruction is possibly incorrect. Entrance marked "E". The stone marked "P" was interpreted as the only remaining passage orthostat.
[1] compare the groundplan of the heavily disturbed SW part ...
