D50, Neolithic burial site in Noord-Sleen, Netherlands

The D50 structure features seven stone lintels supported by sixteen upright stones, creating a passage tomb measuring 17 meters in length and 4.4 meters in width.

Archaeological excavations in 1965 led to the discovery of eleven additional ring stones, which were subsequently reinstated to their original positions at the burial chamber.

This megalithic tomb represents the burial methods of early farming communities that inhabited the region between 3400 and 2900 BCE.

Visitors can reach the D50 dolmen by following Zweeloërstraat in Noord-Sleen and taking the second paved road on the right side.

The site underwent complete restoration in September 1998, including the removal of a large oak tree that had grown within the stone structure.
