Review:
Newgrange is a prehistoric monument in County Meath near Drogheda. The monument was built around the year 3200 BC during the Neolithic, meaning it is older than Stonehenge and even the Egyptian pyramids. The monument comprises a large mound that is circular in shape and contains chambers that are connected by an inner stone passageway. It seems that the chambers were used as a burial site, as human bones and other artifacts have been found there. Many of the stones at the site are covered in megalithic art, and it is believed that the site had a religious significance to those who built it. Today it is a popular tourist attraction and one of the most significant prehistoric monuments in Europe.
