It is older than the Pyramids in Egypt or Stonehenge in England
The grave is on the Leaving Cert art course and as such a visit is required so students can see the Neolithic art which is found at the Tomb. A wide range of motifs or symbols are used in Newgrange; circles, spirals, arcs, chevrons and lozenges are among the most common. It has been suggested that these geometric motifs have a symbolic or magical meaning but there is no real evidence of this. Whatever the meaning of these motifs may be they remain as remarkable examples of Neolithic Art in Ireland and our students in Coláiste Eoin are fortunate to have seen them.
