Facts and practical information

Hunebed G1 is located southwest of Noordlaren in the Dutch province of Groningen. The hunebed lies on a knoll in a grove, which can be reached by a dirt road from Noordlaren. The hunebed is the northernmost of the hunebeds still in their original location within the Netherlands, and also the only Groningen hunebed still in its original location.

The dolmens G2 and G3 were once located in the Appelbergen near Glimmen, but have disappeared. At Onnen, hunebed G4 is suspected. The locations of these three megaliths were discovered by amateur archaeologist Jan Evert Musch. In 1982, during excavations near Heveskesklooster, hunebed G5, located even further north, was found. However, this last hunebed was subsequently moved to the Muzeeaquarium Delfzijl. More than one kilometer southeast of hunebed G1 are the two dolmens D3 and D4 from Midlaren.

The dolmen was archaeologically investigated in 1957 under the direction of Van Giffen.
