Newgrange is one of the best examples in Ireland and in Western Europe, of a type of monument known to archaeologists as a passage-grave or ppassage-tomb. It was constructed around 3200BC, according to the most reliable Carbon 14 dates available from archaeology. This makes it more than 600 years older than the Giza Pyramids in Egypt, and 1,000 years more ancient than Stonehenge.

Righthand, Hi
I have always wanted to visit Ireland, it is a part of my heritage but I probably will never see it with my own eyes.
So, I look forward to seeing it through your eyes.
Thank you for the geography and history of Ireland.
No problem.
I've kind of rediscovered my home place, which is easily done when you are spoiled for choice and one takes things for granted.
