In brief

Sources for this section

Angelslo-Zuid is a megalithic passage grave in Angelslo, within the municipality of Emmen in Drenthe, Netherlands. It belongs to the western group of the Funnel Beaker culture and carries the Van Giffen number D47. The monument is dated by typological estimate to between 3500 BCE and 2800 BCE.

The grave lies in the middle of the Angelslo development area, on a green beside the Haselackers, among several other dolmens. Angelslo-Noord, numbered D46, stands 330 m north-northwest, while Emmerdennen, also numbered D47, lies 2,3 km west-northwest.

The passage grave is aligned south-south-east to north-north-west. Its chamber measures 6,9 m long and 2 m wide, with five pairs of wall stones along the long sides and one closing stone at each short side. No stone enclosure has been identified. Of the original five capstones, two remained when Albert Egges van Giffen examined the grave in 1918. One capstone was brought from elsewhere and added in 1960, and two more were added in 1997, restoring the appearance of a complete structure.

The grave was first securely mentioned in 1819 by L. Willinge. Archaeological investigations and restorations took place in 1960 and 1997, and the site has been a national monument since 1983. In 2017, the Gratama Foundation recorded it with photogrammetry for a 3D atlas project by the province of Drenthe and the University of Groningen.
