  • Meath County. Newgrange is a prehistoric monument located about one kilometre north of the River Boyne. It was built around 3200 BC during the Neolithic period. It has been speculated that it had some form of religious significance because it is aligned with the rising sun, which floods the stone room with light on the winter solstice. Newgrange is also older than Stonehenge and the great pyramids of Giza. It is in fact just one monument within the Neolithic Brú na Bóinne complex, an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
