Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Would like to visit
Newark Earthworks - Octagon submitted by bat400 on 25th Nov 2007. This photo was taken from the observing platform that is set on the east side of the connecting "road" between the circle and octagon in the "Octagon" earthwork site. Looking northeast toward the octagon. The small loaf-shaped mound at the end of the road blocks the view if you were entering the octagon by the "road". This is a typical of Hopewell construction - with openings that are "revealed" gradually.
As you can see, the enclosures are far too large to get a good idea of the geometry w...

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.

D30 Exloo
Date Added: 25th Jun 2012
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Would like to visit
D30 Exloo submitted by Martin_L on 27th Jul 2010. The site viewed from the SW.
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 passage has preserved one pair of orthostats.
