Newgrange Megalithic Passage Tomb in Bru na Boinne. It was built in 3200 BCE. The rock facing is reconstructed based on the archeologist’s interpretation. The interior was not reconstructed and the roof does not leak. The whole tomb covers an acre.

  1. Just wanted you to know the link worked for me the first, original post. In fact the original one loaded faster. PS. I didnt mind looking at the lovely pics.

    1. Hi Laurie, Thanks for the feedback. It helps me figure out the problem. I think the link worked for anyone who clicked the link within an hour or so of receiving the e-mail. I then did something that made the link stop working. The funny thing is, I did the same thing on all the other “picture pages”. I think I know the problem now so hopefully it won’t happen again.
