D23 Bronneger (Hunebed) — Fieldnotes |
|
Visited: June 18, 2015 Hunebed D23, measuring 6.0 × 2.7 metres, originally consisted of four capstones supported on eight sidestones. But the years have taken their toll, and only a single capstone now remains. It is unknown if there was ever an entrance portal or circle of kerbstones around the hunebed. Nevertheless, this hunebed strikes a remarkable 'dolmenesque' profile that instantly captures the eye, its single flat capstone perched proudly on its twin orthostats in near classic pose. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE All the photographs provided for this hunebed, apart from mine (i.e. prior to 2015), are in fact showing hunebed D24. It seems that many visitors assume that D23, D24 and D25 are arranged sequentially as they walk through the woodland. But this is not the case. Precedence in numbering hunebedden runs from North to South. So the middle hunebed of the three (this one), being the most northerly, is numbered D23, The other two are then numbered in sequence from west to east. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Visited: June 18, 2015 Hunebed D24, measuring 6.7 × 2.4 metres, is the most westerly of this trio of numebedden, and originally consisted of four capstones supported on eight sidestones. Now, alas, only two capstones remain, one still supported on its sidestones, and the other collapsed into the crypt. There was originally an entrance portal with a single pair of sidestones, but no evidence of a ring of kerbstones. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE Many of the photographs provided for this hunebed (those dated prior to 2015) are in fact showing hunebed D23. It seems that many visitors assume that D23, D24 and D25 are arranged sequentially as they walk through the woodland. But this is not the case. Precedence in numbering hunebedden runs from North to South. So the middle hunebed of the three, being the most northerly, is D23, The other two are then numbered in sequence from west to east. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
