About this tour
Newgrange was built by Neolithic farmers in the Boyne Valley. Its great circular mound, about 85 metres across, covers a passage and chamber aligned with the rising sun around the Winter Solstice.
Visitors enter through the Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre and are taken to the monument from there. 97 large kerbstones encircle the mound, many carved with megalithic art.
