Back caption reads,
"NEWGRANGE, CO. MEATH: Along the north bank of the River Boyne
is the remarkable pre-Christian cemetery Brugh na Boinne, legendary
burial place of the kings. It is a series of neolithic tumuli which the three
principal mounds are at Knowth, Newgrange, and Dowth about 2 kms apart
from one another. The Newgrange tumulus has a passageway leading to a
central chamber with side recesses for burials. During the winter solstice,
the rays of the sun reach the central chamber. Newgrange has been developed
as a major tourist attraction and is well worth a visit."
