Absolutely, yeah. And indeed, I often think, and I'm straying into something slightly different, so bear with me for a second, that the journey of each of these stones must have been in itself quite a saga, you know, and something that was remembered by people, you know, the actual...

they must have remembered particular stones and someone's toe got crushed or whatever, you know, in the exercise, you know, that each of these stones had a story by the time it got up to the site. And there is evidence that they were locating stones in specific places, you know, very deliberately looking for particular types of stone.

In the case of the Boyne Valley, they would travel quite a distance to find the stone they wanted. And then they brought that to the site and they organized the stone in the architecture, presumably in a meaningful way. So particular types of stone tend to occur in particular places.

And this suggests that stone had meaning for them and possibly the places from which they extracted the stone had meaning as well. And in the way that you might bring material often carries this kind of significance, like people bringing water back from lured or something like that, you know, that it's a material often carries significance for people. Are they carry stones?

We discussed this actually at another time that in my own case, we're from County Kerry in the west, the southwest of Ireland, and living in County Wicklow, but it's very significant to bring a stone from West Kerry to County Wicklow. And it carries a sort of a significance because of where it's from, especially if it's from an ancestral place or something like that.

People would do things like place that on the tombs of parents, grandparents, and so forth. And this often happens with immigrants as well. So this sort of thing that happens today, I presume the same would have gone on in the Stone Age, and stone carried a certain significance for them.

Clarehead is just north of Dundalk Bay. It's on the northern side there on the Cardiff Peninsula. Basically, many of the stones used at Newgrange, the evidence seems to suggest that these are some of the larger stones I'm speaking about. They appear to have come from Clarehead. which is quite a journey, about 30 miles or something like that, to have brought them to the Boyne Valley.
