Of the three dolmens (D23, D24 and D25) this is the Dolmen D24 which worst. There is only 1 Capstone worn word by three smaller stones wear and there is still a capstone beside it.
The Dolmen is almost not to recognize as such but still it is very particular that there are so many Dolmens a short distance to each other. Dolmen D24 is slightly larger as Dolmen D23.

The stones of the Dutch Dolmens are thought to have been moved here during the Ice Age, when the land ice stretched to the middle of the country as we now know it.
Purpose:
Even though Dolmens are often thought to be burial grounds, there is ample evidence that corpses were burnt instead of buried. Some of the "hunebedden" do contain artifacts thought to be to help deceased people on their last voyage.
