Ireland, Day 6 (9 September)

After a delightful breakfast, we bid our hostess farewell, and headed northwest to Bru na Boinne (I can’t spell it properly because I don’t have the font’s for Gaelic language – I can’t pronounce it properly either.) near the town of Drogheda.  Bru na Boinne, which is designated as a world heritage site, hosts three well known passage tombs, Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, that were built some 5000 years ago and over 1000 years before Stonehenge. We visited the Newgrange and Knowth sites but didn’t have time to visit the third site.

The architecture of these tombs is incredible.  They are dome shaped structures built of huge stones, carried by hand from quarries miles away, to the top of a hill. The stones are laid one on top of the other without any cement or other means of securing them.  At the top is a capstone and the entire structures are covered with tons of dirt (with grass growing on top).  The main dome at Newgrange is constructed so that its entrance is aligned exactly so that the rising sun floods the inner chamber through a “roofbox” exactly at sunrise at the winter solstice and at no other time.

Following our visits to Newgrange and Knowth, we visited the ruins of the Mellifont Abbey, a 13th century Cistercian abbey. It was the first abbey of the order to be built in Ireland. Around the mid 1500’s it was converted to a private manor house and saw the signing of the Treaty of Mellifont in 1603.  It also served as the headquarters for William of Orange in 1690 during the Battle of the Boyne.
