Newgrange () is a prehistoric monument in County Meath in Ireland, placed on a rise overlooking the River Boyne, west of the town of Drogheda.

Newgrange is the main monument in the Brú na Bóinne complex, a World Heritage Site that also includes the passage tombs of Knowth and Dowth, as well as other henges, burial mounds and standing stones.

Listoghil () is the large central monument in the Carrowmore group of prehistoric tombs in County Sligo, Ireland. The Carrowmore group consists of about 35 monuments surrounding Listoghil. It was numbered as Carrowmore 51 by George Petrie in 1837 and this designation is still used. Although the district of Cúil Iorra is steeped in legend, Listoghil has never been satisfactorily connected with the ancient legends in the way that say Newgrange has.
