The object is a (visit link) Dutch National Monument.

Type: Dolmen Number: 43.00 Size: The dolmen is 17 meters long and 4.4 meters wide. Source: 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. Parking: Not Listed
