New Grange is a neolithic tomb built over 5000 years ago. One of many of these sites in the area, but one of the few you can actually go into.

Entrance to New Grange. ( My camera 'raincoat' is shadow in upper right :( )
We walked through lower entrance. Very small passage. Incredible how it was built. Never a drop of water inside though built over 5000 years ago.
