Another view of the megalithic art carved on the roof stone of the east recess off the main chamber inside the mound at Newgrange. Unfortunately the slab has cracked and two sections have moved slightly out of alignment.

A view of the entrance from the floor of the chamber, the passage rises 6ft (2m) from the entrance so that the roofbox is lined up with the chamber.

New Grange - Tri Spiral

New Grange - Representation of a fern or maybe a sheef of wheet

The tri-spiral design (above) on orthostat C10 in the north recess at the back 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.

This interesting symbol (left) from the side stone of the west recess looks like a representation of a fern or maybe a sheaf of wheat.
