Irish Megalithic Images 3

clipped from www.mythicalireland.com Newgrange Spirals from Kerbstone 1 and Chamberstone 10 The spiral, or triple spiral, is one of the most familiar images from the Irish Neolithic. The impressive entrance stone at Newgrange, Kerbstone 1, is highly decorated with spirals. Some researchers believe the spiral represents the sun, or the sun's movements through the sky. See a detailed interpretation of megalithic symbols on this page. The triple spiral is repeated inside Newgrange, on a stone in the end recess of the chamber, Chamberstone 10. This triple spiral symbol, according to Professor Tom Ray of the Institute of Advanced Studies, could have been indirectly illuminated at Winter Solstice as mentioned in local legend.
