Tuatha De Dannon

Newgrange is Irelands best known celtic monument. Dated to around 3200 BC, Newgrange is 1,000 years older than Stonehenge and centuries older than the great pyramids of Egypt.
According to Irish mythology, Newgrange was one of the sidhe or fairy-mounds, where the Tuatha De Danann lived. It was built by the god Dagda, but his son Oengus later tricked him out of it. It is named for the goddess Boann, the mother of Aengus, who is also credited with the creation of the River Boyne. According to some versions of the story, the hero Cuchulainn was conceived there.
