G1 Dolmen, Noordlaren
Highlight • Historical Site
The dolmen was originally covered by earth and was much larger in size. It also contained a keystone, two pairs of gate stones, probably a gate stone, five pairs of side stones and an equal number of stones. It is remarkable that the gate faced west, and that two silhouettes of children were found in front of the gate.
