Hunebed D43 (Emmen, langgraf)
The only 'langgraf' (long cairn/long barrow) hunebed in the Netherlands - all others are the more common dolmen type. A 40-metre-long mound, oriented north-south rather than the usual east-west, enclosed by a near-complete circle of 52 kerbstones with two burial chambers inside. One of the first hunebedden to be scientifically excavated, by Holwerda in 1913 and again by van Giffen in 1960.
