Research history

The grave was first mentioned in 1732 by Andries Schoemaker . In the same year Cornelis Pronk made a drawing. In 1918 Albert Egges van Giffen documented the facility for his atlas of the Dutch megalithic graves. Restorations were carried out in 1955, 1966 and 1995. An archaeological dig has not yet taken place. Since 1997 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 12.7 m and a width of 3.3 m. It has seven pairs of wall stones on the long sides. Of the two end stones on the narrow sides, the eastern one is missing. The easternmost of the original seven capstones is also missing. The six cap stones that have been preserved all rest on the wall stones. The access to the chamber is located between the fourth and fifth wall stones on the southern long side, seen from the west. In front of this is a corridor made of originally two wall stones, of which only the western one has survived.
