D15 Loon
Trip No.3 Entry No.21 Date Added: 19th Dec 2017
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Yes on 16th Apr 2005. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
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

Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Yes on 15th Apr 2005. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 5 Access 5
D54 Havelterberg submitted by Martin_L on 24th Sep 2010. The 7 capstone passage-grave viewed from the West. A stone visible to the right of the chamber probably is a remaining passage orthostat. The 12,65m by 3,30m [1] chamber is halfway embedded into the sandy ground. As in most cases only the megalithic skeleton remained. Drywalling, barrow and a possible enclosure are lost.
Taken in August 2010

D52 Diever
Trip No.3 Entry No.3 Date Added: 16th Dec 2017
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Yes on 15th Apr 2005. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 5
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 ...

Allée Couverte dite Minguionnet submitted by Ozzie on 19th Mar 2016. Site in Bretagne:Morbihan (56) France
This site is sign posted from the northern end but not the south. There is a narrow sport on the side of the steepish mountain road for parking. The track down the site had been partly cleared of brambles when we visited (Mar 2016). One of the cap stones is partly in place. An unusual location for an Allee Couverte but it is in a commanding part of a closed valley.

Ty Corriganet de Coat Menez Guen submitted by Ozzie on 8th Mar 2016. Ty Corriganet de Coat Menez is 1km past Allée Couverte de Coat Luzuen down a farm track, across a soggy ford and in a field on the left. It is quite overgrown. The Allée Couverte de Coat Luzuen photo has been incorrectly used for this monument in Megalithes de Bretagne.
