Dutch Cups


This page is part of the


British Rock Art Collection



We weren't aware of its existence until we came in contact with RABL-member "Hans". He mentioned a cup on the D16 Dolmen at Balloo, near Rolde, in the province of Drenthe, The Netherlands. He also told us that there are carvings found around the village of Borger. So we have some work to do and the title of this page (Dutch Cups?!) is definitely not referring to Football Cups. Hans submitted the following great images:

This is a very recent photo of the Balloo dolmen. If you look a little longer, you'll find circular images everywhere (a.o. on the right entrance stone).

Be careful; you may be so easily carried away!
