Newgrange is super cool to visit. I remember when we went to Ireland on a castle stay vacation (also recommended) and on a lark decided to hit it up having never heard of it. Completely blown away. We ended up in a group with just me, my wife, and the guide and got a really wonderful in depth and personal experience. In my book much more interesting than Stonehenge.
I was also struck with how similar it appeared to large tombs in South Korea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Tombs_of_the_Joseon_Dynasty https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Tombs_of_the_Joseon_Dyna...
