On my way from D5 Zeijen to D2 Westervelde I made a short stop in Norg to see this site in front of Margarethakerk.

Although no structure is visible as such, the shape of the stones suggests that they may have served as capstones for a hunebed.

Sint-Margaretakerk (in Norg)

Visited: July 11, 2014

Though often referred to as ‘Norg Kerk’, the name of this 13th century Romanesque church is the Sint-Margaretakerk. It is located on Brink, about 200 metres from Norg town-centre bus halt at Westeind.

The church is notable for the grouping of stones in front of it: a number of deeply buried supporting stones with only their tops showing are surmounted by two capstones that would do justice to many a hunebed.

This monument is not, however, credited as being a hunebed, but it seems highly likely that it is an ancient grave of some description.

On the way up to see D1 at Steenbergen and D2 at Westervelde (which we had to give up on) we passed through the village of Norg. The church, which is on the main drag next to the village centre car park has the remnants of a monument just outside the front door, sandwiched between it and the main road. These small stones don’t have an official D number, but they were clearly part of something. We spotted some other suspicious-looking stones in the car park which had been carefully tarmac’d around rather than moved or carted off, which we felt was quite significant.
