As part of our celebration of Winter Solstice 2020 with OPW Office of Public Works colleagues, which seem to have caught the public imagination in an extraordinary way this year, we thought you might like this short film on the architecture of the Neolithic passage tomb and the remarkable Solstice phenomenon.
The film, produced by John Murray of Crossing the Line Films also highlights ongoing research being carried out by OPW Office of Public Works and National Monuments Service Archaeology at the monument which forms part of the @UNESCO World Heritage Site of Brú na Bóinne.
We have had two wonderful days so far of OPW Office of Public Works Solstice coverage from Newgrange, and thank you to all our many friends, old and new, from across the globe who have joined with us all in celebrating the dark end of one astronomical year and the brighter start to the next!
FINAL DAY of OPW Office of Public Works live streaming tomorrow from 0845am UTC/GMT at https://heritageireland.ie/wintersol... and where you can catch up on the last 2 days of beautiful imagery and expert commentary by Clare Tuffy and Dr Frank Prendergast.
Happy Solstice!
