Newgrange (Ireland) Kerbstone 52 - constructed over 5,000 years ago (about 3,200 B.C.) and classified as a "passage tomb." It is a large kidney shaped mound covering an area of over one acre, retained at the base by 97 kerbstones, some of which are richly decorated with megalithic art. Newgrange is part of a complex of monuments built along a bend of the River Boyne known collectively as Brú na Bóinne. The other two principal monuments are Knowth (the largest) and Dowth.
