This dolmen is attributed to the Funnelbeaker culture, the collective name of a number of communities that lived in this area in the New Stone Age. It is perhaps no surprise that the pottery consisted mainly of funnel beakers. Evidence has been found that pottery containing remains of the funeral meal was buried in the grave. The serifs of dozens of pots have been found in the burial vault of dolmen D30, which was located at a depth of one meter.

Easily accessible dolmen in the middle of the forestry of Exloo. Both accessible by bicycle and car. In the basement, shards of more than 65 pots were found during the excavations. This together with some burnt human bone remains and an arrowhead, this is quite unique for a Dutch hunebed. For more information about this hunebed or other dolmens, I recommend the website hunebeddenwijzer.nl.

Nicely situated in the woods next to a cycle path along the road. Not a large and beautiful hunebed, but beautifully situated.
