Beyond Newgrange: The World of Ireland’s Passage Tombs

Newgrange was not a solitary monument. It was part of a vast prehistoric passage tomb landscape stretching across Ireland and the Atlantic world. Newgrange was never meant to stand alone. It has to be seen in a much wider landscape of passage tombs that shaped prehistoric Ireland and connected communities through shared beliefs about death, ancestry, time, and the cosmos. In this video, we step back to explore the world of the passage tombs, examining sites such as Knowth, Dowth, Carrowmore, Loughcrew, and Seefin, and placing them within their broader Irish and Atlantic European context. When viewed together, these monuments reveal a shared worldview that extended across Ireland and beyond, linking landscape, ritual, and memory. This is the final video in a series on Newgrange and the winter solstice, and it brings together archaeology, landscape, and interpretation to better understand what Newgrange was truly part of — not a single monument, but a connected prehistoric world.
