Allée Couverte dite Minguionnet
Trip No.30 Entry No.28 Date Added: 28th Mar 2019
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: France (Bretagne:Morbihan (56))
Visited: Yes on 22nd Jun 2004. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
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.

Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)

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

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 ...

G1 Noordlaren submitted by Sunflowerbird on 9th Mar 2005. Noordlaren
Just over the border from Drenthe into Groningen province lies what remains of the G1 hunebed at Noordlaren. Actually, its just outside the village down a well signposted track in a small copse on the edge of wide fields. What's left is possibly only 15% of the original hunebed and is pretty impressive in its own right.
