Newgrange
Date Added: 10th Jun 2012
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Meath)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jul 2010
Newgrange submitted by DrewParsons on 6th Jul 2010. The reconstructed quartz facade is certainly an eye catcher although there is serious debate as to whether the original site looked like this. It is interesting that quartz played such an important symbolic roll at prehistoric sites across Europe through to early Celtic Christian sites where quartz pebbles would be left as offerings. Photographed in October 2002.

Easter Aquhorthies submitted by DrewParsons on 6th Jul 2010. The recumbent stone. This site is located at Easter Aquhorthies which is the circle's alternative name. I visited it in October 2002 during a stop over on flights between Orkney and Leeds when I found I had a few hours to race around these lovely Aberdeenshire circles (that's between circles not around each one!!). A very worthwhile stop over.
