D5 is a small hunebed that sits in a hollow, but the remains of the barrow that once covered it are visible all around - the result of half-finished excavations in the 19th century. It sits amid trees in an open area bordering on farmland between the village of Zeijen and Peest, and remains of two prehistoric settlements and many barrows are in close range.
