Quick Take
Newgrange at Brú na Bóinne, County Meath, is a Neolithic passage monument built around 3200 BCE. Its roof-box and passage are aligned so the rising sun floods the inner chamber at winter solstice. The wider ritual landscape includes Knowth and Dowth, with some of Europe’s richest megalithic art. Earlier megaliths exist in Ireland, notably Carrowmore in Sligo from the fourth millennium BCE.
