First reported 1811-1815 N. Westendorp Over de Hunebedden in Letter- en Oudheidkundige Verhandelingen
Perched halfway up a dune overlooking a large sandy hollow, D1 has given its name to the nearby village. It is a fairly large and complete A-list hunebed with a distinctive portal, and as the most northerly hunebed, it is the first number in the D-series.
