West Drenthe
Hunebedden of
West Drenthe
Hunebed D15 keeps solitary watch over the fields around the village of Loon, just east of Assen. It is one of the most complete hunebedden in Drenthe.
I was lucky to find it on a quiet Sunday morning while a storm loomed overhead, as darkening clouds emphasize the strategic use of red-tinged stones in its construction.
The Rolde twins, D17/18, are beautifully situated in a large grove of trees bordering the current churchyard. Remains of other megaliths have been found under the old church itself, indicating a larger complex.
To the east, the hunebedden of Gasteren, Eext, Tynaarlo and Drouwen show both typical and unique features of the monuments.
