Der Hunt is a stone setting which consists of six upright, rounded stones. In the centre stands a significantly larger, column-shaped stone that is about 1.5 metres high, 0.9 metres wide and 0.55 metres thick. According to the information board, the stone setting resembles a sitting dog, but I did not perceive it that way myself. According to German Wikipedia the site name is “Steinkreis von Bentstreek”, but for me, the site does not resemble a stone circle. But maybe this comes from the fact, that the site was re-erected in 1978 without any knowledge of the original state.
The site is listed in the book “Menhire in Deutschland” by Johannes Groht.
