Newgrange in Ireland is a world famous monument not only because of its vast scale and elaborate megalithic art, but also because of its renowned alignment to the sun on the winter solstice. Yet, even today, the origins of Newgrange remain somewhat mysterious. This book not only charts the earlier history of Newgrange, but addresses why it was constructed (and for what purpose).
