Loon is a village in the Netherlands and is part of the Assen municipality in Drenthe.

Loon is an esdorp which developed in the early middle ages on higher grounds.

[7] The village is nowadays on the edge of the city of Assen, however a railway line and canal provide some separation.

[3] In 1870, excavation began on the site, and four of the five capstones were still in their place, and 18 of the 23 side stones were still present.

In 1974, two youths from Assen dug up bronze pottery from the dolmen.
