Or as the Dutch say: Hunebed. Or just one h*ll of a big rock balancing on another for more than 5400 years long now.
A dolmen, also known as a cromlech, portal tomb, portal grave or quoit, is a type of single-chamber megalithic tomb, usually consisting of two or more megaliths supporting a large flat horizontal capstone ("table"), although there are also more complex variants. Most date from the early Neolithic (4000-3000 BCE). Dolmens were typically covered with earth or smaller stones to form a tumulus. In many instances, that covering has weathered away, leaving only the stone "skeleton" of the burial mound intact.
Achter de zesstammige Beuk gaat een van de mooiere, maar zéker een van de meest gefotografeerde Hunnebedden schuil. Dit grafmonument heeft de prozaïsche naam D21 meegekregen. Rechts op de foto het kleinste Hunebed van Nederland D22.
De bekende archeoloog, Prof. Van Giffen, heeft dit Hunebed in 1918 onderzocht en scherven gevonden van zeker meer als 600 potten, schalen en bekers.
Naast D21 en D22 bevinden zich hier even verderop nóg 3 Hunebedden (D23 t/m D25).
Het is een magische plek. Er hangt hier iets in de lucht wat je iedere keer weer ervaart; het geeft je een gevoel van diepe rust en ontspanning. Op maar weinig plekken ervaar ik dat zó intens als juist hier ! Heel bijzonder !
From hunebednieuwscafe.nl: There is only one hunebed within the borders of Assen, the provincial capital of Drenthe. It is a medium-sized hunebed close to the rustic village of Loon and it stands on the higher-lying Looner Es. This field had been left untouched during the redistribution of land. (This was a process by which farmers swapped parcels of land in order to consolidate their fields into one more efficient single holding). Up until 1870 this hunebed gradually sank into its own chamber beneath its covering mound. Then the “restorers”, under the approving eye of the Provincial Governor Mr. Gregory, decided that it was necessary to uncover this archaeological monument. At that time, the conventional thinking was that the covering mounds of hunebeds were not in fact original but had been caused by the later formation of sand dunes.
D53 is the second largest hunebed in Holland (D27 is 'the first') and one with a remarkable history.
It counts 9 capstones, all of them resting nicely on their foundations, consisting of 23 sidestones and 2 endstones. There is a complete porch with 4 passage sidestones and 1 capstone. Of the big oval wrench, 10 kerbstones are still there.
Under the supervision of Professor Van Giffen D53 has been the subject of a thorough archaeologic research and not without success. In and under the floor of the burial chamber, researchers found potsherds of 665 pieces of pottery, 3 stone axes, an arrow-point, a bludgeon, and 4 amber beads. Never before so many artifacts had been found in a hunebed.
In 1945 the fate of this marvelous hunebed seemed to be sealed. The German Army that occupied Holland demanded this megalithic monument to be dismantled for the construction of an airfield. The inevitable demolition took place, but the Dutch authorities had taken their precautions: all 50 big and smaller boulders were pushed into a 6 meter deep pit in the ground by a shovel. Immediately after the war the stones were dug up again and in 1949 the restoration started. In 1950 the hunebed showed off again in all its glory as if nothing had happened! Havelte, Netherlands

Een hunebed of dolmen is een grafkamer uit het neolithicum (4000-3000 v.Chr.) die bestaat uit ten minste drie maar vaak (veel) meer staande draagstenen, overdekt door een (of meer) deksteen.
Hunebedden zijn volgens de gangbare theorie resten van prehistorische grafkamers. Ze zijn echter niet te beschouwen als graven in de gewone betekenis, maar eerder als knekelhuizen. Het is niet met zekerheid te zeggen dat grafsignalisatie de oorspronkelijke functie van al deze bouwwerken is geweest. Er zijn dolmens waarvan vermoed wordt dat ze enkel als heiligdom dienstdeden.
In Nederland vinden we ze nog vooral terug in Drenthe, veelal op de Hondsrug. Ze zijn gebouwd tussen 3350 en 3050 v.Chr, in de meest westelijke uitloper van het territorium van de trechterbekercultuur. In totaal zijn er daar 52 hunebedden bewaard gebleven in Nederland. In bijvoorbeeld Duitsland en Denemarken zijn nog honderden te vinden.

A dolmen or dolmen is a burial chamber from the Neolithic period (4000-3000 BC) that consists of at least three but often (much) more standing supporting stones, covered by one (or more) capstone.
According to current theory, dolmens are the remains of prehistoric burial chambers. However, they cannot be regarded as graves in the ordinary sense, but rather as charnel houses. It cannot be said with certainty that grave signaling was the original function of all these structures. There are dolmens who are believed to have served only as shrines.
In the Netherlands we still find them mainly in Drenthe, mostly on the Hondsrug. They were built between 3350 and 3050 BC, in the westernmost spur of the funnel-beaker culture territory. A total of 52 dolmens have been preserved there in the Netherlands. Hundreds can still be found in Germany and Denmark, for example.
D21 is een van vijf Hunebedden bij Bronneger op de Drentse Hondsrug en tevens de belangrijkste gezien de archeologische vondsten bij er gedaan zijn.

Das im Volksmund “der steinerne Schlüssel” genannte Großstein - (Megalith)grab wurde in der Jungsteinzeit (3500-1800 v. Chr.) aus mächtigen Findlingsblöcken errichtet, die Eiszeitgletscher vor mehr als 100.000 Jahren aus dem Norden herangeschafft hatten.
Die Großsteingräber wurden von Ackernbauern und Viehzüchtern etwa zwischen 2300 und 2000 v. Chr. zur Aufnahme verstorbener Familien- oder Sippenmitglieder errichtet.

Het hunebed wordt toegeschreven aan de trechterbekercultuur.
Het hunebed is 6,0 meter lang en 2,7 meter breed. Oorspronkelijk had het acht draagstenen en vier dekstenen.
D23 en D24 zijn zo gehavend, dat ze nauwelijks te herkennen zijn als hunebed

The hunebed is attributed to the funnel cup culture.
The hunebed is 6.0 meters long and 2.7 meters wide. Originally it had eight bearing stones and four capstones.
D23 and D24 are so battered that they can hardly be recognized as a hunebed
