location

The grave is in Evertsbos, a wooded area south of Anloo directly on a forest path. There are several other large stone graves in the vicinity: 2 km south-southeast is the large stone grave Eext-Es (D12) and 2.5 m south-southeast the stepped grave of Eext (D13).

Research history

The grave was first mentioned in 1711 by Ludolf Smids . In 1878 the first investigation was carried out by William Collings Lukis and Henry Dryden . The finds made are now in the British Museum . In 1918 Albert Egges van Giffen documented the facility for his atlas of the Dutch megalithic graves. In 1952 the grave was restored. Since 1978 the complex has been a national monument ( Rijksmonument ).

description

The complex is an east-southeast-west-northwest oriented passage grave . A stone enclosure could not be found. The burial chamber has a length of 9.4 m and a width of 3.7 m. It has five pairs of wall stones on the long sides and a capstone each on the narrow sides. Of the original five cap stones, the westernmost one is missing. The cap stones that have been preserved all rest on the wall stones. The access to the chamber is in the middle of the southern long side. This was originally a corridor made of two wall stones, of which only one is left. The standing hole of the missing gang stone was filled with concrete .
