Some 40 metres west of hunebed D40 Emmerveld Southeast lies hunebed D39 Emmerveld Southwest, still largely hidden by the ramains of its original mound. The eight side- and end-stones are buried deep in the sand with only their tops visible. Of the original three capstones, only one remains in place, the others either having been robbed in antiquity, or perhaps lying deep inside the grave. So deeply is the whole structure buried in the sand that the capstone seems almost to be resting on the ground itself.
For route directions, refer to D40.

Some 50 metres northwest of hunebed D40 Emmerveld Southeast lies hunebed D38 Emmerveld North, which presents a rather sorry picture, only two of its original five capstones remaining in position, the others having long ago slid down into the central chamber. The eleven side- and end-stones seem rather diminuative, until it is realised that much of the original mound that was built over this hunebed is still in place. Like icebergs, almost all of the sidestones remain buried in sand.
