The Kerbstone Circle at Newgrange is a stone circle located in the Boyne Valley, Ireland. It was built around 3200 BC and is composed of 97 large stones set in a semi-circle around a burial chamber. The stones are believed to have had spiritual or religious significance for their builders, although their exact purpose remains unknown. The stones are decorated with carvings of symbols such as spirals and lozenges, which may be related to fertility or the cycles of nature. The site also includes several outbuildings and mounds, including an entrance passage leading into the inner chamber where cremated human remains were discovered by archaeologists.
The Kerbstone Circle has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its historical and archaeological importance. Its location within the larger Neolithic complex of Brú na Bóinne provides further evidence for its significant role in early Irish culture and religion. Today, it serves as both an important monument to Irish prehistory and an increasingly popular tourist destination that attracts visitors from all over the world each year.
