Anthony Murphy of Mythical Ireland writes "There's a huge round mound-shaped hillock in the Boyne Valley which is not marked on any map but which at least one archaeologist thinks is a probable passage-tomb structure", so this would be similar to Newgrange.
"This site is is actually Very Obvious while at the same time
Very Subtle. The sidhe folk are playing tricks. It can be seen
clearly if one knows from where to see it.
Not a kerbstone to be seen, however. Perhaps it's a megalithic
passage-tomb. Perhaps it's an innocent hillock. I'd be glad to show
anyone who's interested.
But only on the condition that no-one try to excavate it! ;-)"
It is on private property, so access is not possible without arrangement.
