A couple of photo's from the archive circa 1950s of Newgrange's lintel stone. This was before the Roofbox was revealed beneath the lintel by Professor M.J O'Kelly in 1963. #HeritageWeek2024 #discoverireland

Shadow casting across the entrances of the largest monuments of the Boyne Valley, must have been an important feature during the ritual celebrations at Winter Solstice at Newgrange and Spring and Autumn Equinox at Knowth. #discoverireland #HeritageWeek2024📸John #brunaboinne

Great photo to show the contrast between shade and light and how it hides or highlights the art. K52 at the back of Newgrange is partially shaded and the art is hard to see. Whereas the lower part is hit by sunlight which makes the art pop. 📷 Siobhán #Newgrange #megalithicart

Diametrically opposite K1 "The Entrance Stone" is K52 below. This highly decorated stone really comes alive in the Autumnal evening sun. #brunaboinne #discoverireland 📹 John
