Newgrange is a prehistoric monument located in County Meath, near Navan, Ireland. It is a large circular mound with an inner stone passageway and chambers. Constructed during the Neolithic period, around 3200 BC, it is older than both Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids of Giza. Newgrange is renowned for its architectural sophistication and astronomical alignment; during the winter solstice, sunlight penetrates the passage and illuminates the central chamber.
