D50 Noord sleen

Hunebed

Fieldnotes

I totally agree with Les Hamiltion: This is the unsung hero of all Hunebeds in The Netherlands.

Away from the usual beaten tracks, this huge (17m x 4.4m) beauty still has most kerbstones (I counted twenty-four), seven of eight capstones along with sixteen sidestones and two endstones. The only flaw you might find is that only one of the portal stones is still present. Otherwise it is nearly perfect.

So this is a must see site, chances are very high that you can experience this site complete on your own, as D50 Noord sleen is, due to reasons unknown to me, not one of the most famous Hunebeds in Drenthe.

Highly recommended!
