Though Newgrange is visible from the road, we had to loop several miles around the side road to the visitors centre at Brugh na Boyne to be able to go inside. |

Tomb mounds at Knowth in the Brugh na Boine group. The pattern of a large central mound surrounded by smaller ones is repeated here. Knowth is older than Newgrange. |

At last, Newgrange. The band of white stone is about 2 1/2 feet off the ground and about 12 feet high. It comes from the Wicklow mountains, 60 miles to the south. |

There are many different marker stones of mysterious purpose. |

The upright stone aligns with the opening in the center. |

The entrance to Newgrange requires climbing stiles over the carved stones. The spirals carved here are said to symbolize rebirth. |
| s-Newgrange65-16.html |

Each stone has somewhat different carvings. |

The stone base disappears into the slope at the back. |

This stone mound is within the same enclosure as Newgrange, on the south slope of its hill. |
