Newgrange submitted by McDeil : Entry at Newgrange showing massive carved stone which once blocked the entry. Not shown are the tourists who in Summer would queue for up to an hour to be taken through the tomb! (Vote or comment on this photo)
A new website all about Newgrange has been unveiled. It's called 101 Facts About Newgrange. It contains 101 pieces of information about this fascinating Stone Age monument. You'll find facts on its construction, myths and legends, great circle, passage and chamber, megalithic art, kerbstones, astronomy and more.
For those who have difficulty reading text on a black background, there's even a printer friendly version with easy-to-read text.
I hope this website within a website becomes a good resource for students and researchers as well as the general public who want to find out more about one of Ireland's most famous archaeological sites.
Be sure to read "Fact 101" - it's very interesting.
