Review:
Bru na Buinne is an area located on the bend of the River Boyne, which contains one of the most significant prehistoric landscapes in the world. The name of the area means palace or mansion of the Boyne. The area’s largest structures include three iconic passage tombs named Dowth, Newgrange, and Knowth. The tombs were constructed approximately 5,000 years ago in the late Stone Age or Neolithic Period. Nearly 100 other monuments have been found in the area. The tombs contain the largest collection of megalithic art in this part of the world. The area is preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a stunning example of history, cultural tradition, and the creativity and ingenuity of prehistoric humans.
