Dolmen / Hunebed D20, Drouwen, Drenthe, Netherlands - 1160
Dolmen D20 (Dutch: Hunebed D20) lies together with hunebed D19 west of the village Drouwen on the Steenhopenweg in the Dutch province of Drenthe. The dolmens are about 15.5 meters apart.
Dolmen / Hunebed D20 is 11.3 meters long and 3.4 meters wide. The special thing about this dolmen is that the ring stones that originally formed the foot of the burial mound have largely been preserved. There are still 21 to see, on the spot of the other six Van Giffen has placed plombes.
There are still five capstones from the original six. There is a gate cover stone on the four gate stones.
Near the dolmens is an old cart track of a prehistoric road.
Please read more about the history of the dolmens or megaliths at How they built a dolmen (Hunebed).
This is what we saw during our Cycling holiday in Drenthe, the Netherlands, where we have cycled through the beautiful landscape.
