D10

D10 is a prehistoric megalithic tomb located near Gasteren in the Netherlands. The structure consists of stacked stones arranged to form a burial chamber, representing a type of monument built by ancient populations in northern Europe.

This dolmen was built during the Stone Age as a burial structure for prehistoric communities. It remained visible through the centuries and caught the attention of Renaissance scholars who documented its existence in written records.

This megalithic structure reflects the way prehistoric communities marked important places and burial grounds in the landscape. The site remains a connection point where visitors can observe how ancient societies organized their sacred spaces.

The site sits within reach of walking trails that connect nearby communities and pass through the surrounding parkland. Wear sturdy shoes and bring weather-appropriate clothing, as the location is exposed to open terrain.

During restoration work, a Roman coin was discovered near the stones, suggesting Roman activity in this area long after the monument was built. This finding hints at how different periods of history overlapped in this location.
