Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth
Images of the Passage Tombs at the Bend of the Boyne

From Bernd Biege, About.com

Visiting some the ancient monuments in the Boyne Valley is a must for every visitor to Ireland. But nowhere can the past be experienced as impressively as within the central chamber of Newgrange. The Brú na Boinne (pronounced "broo-na-boyne") site is well managed and tours will provide an educational and above all unique experience. This is one of the places in Ireland that will take your breath away simply by being there.
