In Ireland, the chambered round cairn of Newgrange with its quartz walls and with a passage aligned towards the midwinter sunrise was placed inside a circle of over thirty massive blocks of stone. It is a fascinating ancient construction located about 26 miles north of Dublin, Ireland.
The gigantic Neolithic tomb of Newgrange (in Irish: Si An Bhru) is one of the greatest prehistoric monuments in the world, which was probably constructed about 5,100 years ago. The structure is older than the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Stonehenge enormous trilithons.
