New Grange (Brugh na Boinne) viewed from the road showing it's remarkable quartz fronting.

The Entrance Stone (Above) is famous for its intricate spiral carvings. Nobody has really been able to decipher their meaning, although there are many theories. Our favourite is that they show a map of the Boyne Valley itself with the location of all the sacred sites.

The stone above is positioned close to the road and is believed to be a Guardian Stone placed there to protect the dead interned within the tomb. It repeats the same patterns found on the entrance stone.

This Basin Stone (Above) is found within the tomb itself. The burnt and powdered remains of the dead were placed on it. The spiral patterns familiar to the site are found on the rear wall and above it, as are intricate 'zig-zag' patterns.

This is the Ceiling of the Tomb if you were to look directly up. There are over 100 tons of stone used to make this roof, and it is affectionately know as 'the driest roof in Ireland'.

This is the entrance showing the stone, with the 'light box' above the doorway. This allows a stream of light to pass down the chamber once a year at Winter Solstice.
