D17

The D17 dolmen features massive stone slabs arranged in a rectangular formation, with several supporting stones holding up a substantial capstone at the site.

Archaeological investigations indicate this burial structure was constructed during the Neolithic period, between 4000 and 2500 BCE, by early farming communities in the region.

The placement and construction of D17 demonstrate the technological capabilities and social organization of prehistoric communities that inhabited the northern Netherlands.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site through marked pathways, while informational panels near the structure explain its construction methods and historical context.

Research at D17 has revealed specific patterns in the placement of megalithic stones that align with particular astronomical events during the solar year.
