Newgrange photographs by Annaliese Moyer.

Three weathered standing stones in a green field under a cloudy sky, the nearest stone patched with orange lichen. Twelve standing stones survive of what may have been an arc at the front of the mound, or possibly a complete circle of about 35 stones surrounding the mound.
Circular dry-stone folly with a small round opening, photographed from Newgrange with fields, sheep and blue sky beyond. The folly, photographed from the mound at Newgrange.

A folly is a building with no particular purpose. Many follies were built in Ireland by wealthy landowners in the 19th century, sometimes with the worthwhile purpose of providing work during the famine.
