D32

Großsteingrab Odoorn is a megalithic passage grave belonging to the western group of the Funnel Beaker culture. It stands at Odoorn, a district of Borger-Odoorn in the Dutch province of Drenthe, and is identified by the Van-Giffen number D32. The monument lies northwest of Odoorn and is reached by a field path branching from the Borgerderweg.

The poorly preserved grave is aligned east-northeast to west-southwest. Its chamber measures 7,6 m long and 3 m wide. It originally had five pairs of wall stones along the long sides, an end stone at each short side, and five capstones. Three wall stones and one capstone are missing. Of the four surviving capstones, only the two outer ones still rest on the wall stones, and capstone Nr. 3 has three cup marks on one long side. No passage stones remain, and no stone enclosure could be identified.

The grave was first mentioned in 1815 by Nicolaus Westendorp and in 1818 by R. Boelken. Leonhardt Johannes Friedrich Janssen visited it in 1847 and published an overview with descriptions and schematic plans the following year. Willem Pleyte photographed the megalithic tombs of Drenthe in 1874, while Albert Egges van Giffen documented this monument in 1918. Restorations took place in 1953, 1958 and 1995. During an examination in 1958, van Giffen found a Flat Grave of the Funnel Beaker culture in front of the entrance.

The monument is dated by typological estimate to 3500 BCE to 2800 BCE. Monuments of this kind in the Netherlands are known as hunebedden and were built by the western group of the Funnel Beaker culture. After the culture ended, such sites were reused by the Single Grave and Bell Beaker cultures in the Early Bronze Age and, less extensively, into the Middle Ages.
