G5, Neolithic dolmen in Muzeeaquarium Delfzijl, Netherlands
The G5 dolmen, discovered in 1982 at Heveskesklooster, stands as the northernmost megalithic structure within the Netherlands, featuring characteristic stone arrangements of the Neolithic period.
During excavations in the 1980s, archaeologists uncovered the foundations of a Johanniskloster monastery near the dolmen site, which was later destroyed in 1586 during the Eighty Years War.
The dolmen represents a significant prehistoric burial monument that reflects the engineering capabilities and mortuary practices of early farming communities in the northern Netherlands.
Visitors can examine the dolmen as part of the archaeological collection at Muzeeaquarium Delfzijl, which opens daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM with admission prices starting at €9 for adults.
The stone chest associated with this dolmen remains separately preserved at the Hunebedcentrum in Borger, demonstrating the distributed nature of this archaeological discovery.
