15 Amplify Archaeology Newgrange Part 1 Muiris O Sullivan

This is the first episode of a miniseries focusing on Newgrange. In this edition Neil was joined by Professor Muiris O’Sullivan, one of the legends of Irish archaeology. Muiris has spent a lifetime studying and writing about Irish archaeology. He has a particular interest in megalithic art, and in the podcast we discuss many aspects of Newgrange, the people who built it, and its meaning today. We also discuss Knockroe Passage Tomb in County Kilkenny, another monument that shares a mid-winter solstice alignment, and that Muiris excavated in the 1990s.
