Dolmen


The hunebed (dolmen) D16 [nl] is located near Balloo. It is one of the larger dolmen. It contains nine capstones and 19 side stones. In 1918, it was chaotic and most of the stones had fallen down. In 1978, the dolmen has been reconstructed. The sixth capstone contains cup-marks which have also been founded in Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein. The meaning of the cup-marks and its creation are still a mystery.[4]
