The tri-spiral design on orthostat C10 in the back recess of
the chamber at New Grange is probably the most famous Irish Megalithic symbol.
The design is often called a triple spiral; however
archaeologists call it the three-spiral stone.
The tri-spiral is often referred to as a Celtic design, however it was carved
about 2500 years before the Celts reached Ireland.
The tri-spiral design is quite small in size at 30x28cm (12x11 inches) which is less than
one-third the size of the similar design on the entrance
stone.
