Eastrum — village around a Frisian terp
Near Dokkum, Eastrum gathers around a raised village centre. The churchyard and surrounding street give a small-scale view of the Frisian terp landscape.
The regional account places the church and churchyard inside a ring road. The municipal landscape plan describes the radial structure around the mound and identifies surviving portions of that ring.
Our reading begins at the edge of the village, where the church tower and nearby roofs come into view across open fields. From there, the ring helps explain how the settlement relates to the raised ground. The archive image shows that relationship from across a pasture.
