D42 Emmeres

Hunebed

Fieldnotes

This is one of the larger (16.8 x 4.5 m), but also one of the lesser known dolmens of Drenthe. Originally it had 9 capstones, 4 of which are left over. Also 7 supporting stones and an endstone have disappeared. The terrain where it is, was called the 'Stien Camp' - the Stone field.

The Hunebed is special because the entrance was once formed by a corridor of twice three stones facing each other. Such a long 'corridor' has no other Hunebed; nothing can be seen anymore.

There is an impressive oak tree that rises from the middle of the Hunebed.
