D15

The D15 dolmen features large granite stones arranged to form a burial chamber with supporting stones and a massive capstone covering the structure.

During the period between 3470 and 3250 BC, members of the Funnelbeaker culture constructed this megalithic tomb as part of their burial practices.

The local Dutch name 'hunebed' for these structures reflects the ancient belief that giants placed these enormous stones to create their resting places.

Visitors can access the D15 dolmen site throughout the year, with informational panels explaining the construction techniques and archaeological discoveries.

The arrangement of stones at D15 contains specific architectural elements that demonstrate the advanced engineering capabilities of Neolithic builders.
