D11

Großsteingrab Anloo-Zuid is a megalithic burial monument of the Late Neolithic West Group of the Funnel Beaker culture at Anloo, a district of Aa en Hunze in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It lies in the Evertsbos forest, directly beside a forest path. The site carries the Van-Giffen number D11.

The monument is an east-southeast to west-northwest aligned passage grave. Its chamber measures 9,4 m long and 3,7 m wide. Five pairs of wall stones line the long sides, with one closing stone at each short side. Four of the five original capstones survive and rest on the wall stones. The southern long side contains the entrance, originally preceded by a passage of two wall stones; only one remains, and the socket of the missing stone was filled with concrete.

The grave was first mentioned in 1711 by Ludolf Smids. Willem Pleyte and photographer Jan Goedeljee photographed Drenthe’s megalithic tombs in 1874, and detailed plans and sections of 40 tombs were produced by William Collings Lukis and Henry Dryden in 1878. Albert Egges van Giffen documented the monument in 1918. It was restored in 1952 and has been a National Monument since 1978.

Megalithic tombs in northern Germany and the Netherlands were generally built by the Funnel Beaker culture, about 4100 to 2800 BCE. The site’s estimated date is 3500 BCE to 2800 BCE, based on typological comparison. In 2017, Anloo-Zuid and the other surviving Dutch megalithic tombs were recorded with photogrammetry for a 3D atlas project by the Province of Drente, the University of Groningen and the Gratama Foundation.
