A pair
of hunebeds again and they sure are an interesting couple! Under heavy
touristic 'pressure' (there is a holiday resort on the other side of the
street!), but also thoroughly researched by archaeologists in the past.
And not without result. They found potsherds of 400 pots and beakers,
13 flint axes, 9 amber beads and 6 pieces of cupper. D20
(on the foreground) still has an oval shaped ring of 21 kerbstones (only
6 are missing) and a complete entrance consisting
of 4 sidestones and 1 capstone. This hunebed originaly possessed 6 capstones.
There are still 5 of them. During a recent restauration most of them could
be lifted on their uprights again. D19 is the biggest of the two. It used
to be a 8 capstones hunebed but 1 is missing. 2 are fragmented and
5 could be restored and are resting on their sidestones again. D19 also
has a long and complete passage: 4 sidestones and one capstone. |
