| Abstract: | Staff from Trent & Peak Archaeology and ArcHeritage were commissioned to carry out a survey of Neolithic tombs at the Bru na Boinne World Heritage Site in County Meath, Ireland, in order to facilitate the creation of both virtual access to the sites and high-resolution records of the monuments and their rock art. This article explains the issues that currently limit access to the three huge passage tombs that are the most well-known monuments. Newgrange is the most studied, most accessible and most heavily reconstructed of the three. Given this and the difficulty in surveying the monument, which is open to the public 364 days a year, resources were focused on the lesser-known monuments of Knowth and Dowth. These two monuments are briefly described, and an outline is given of the survey methodology and the equipment used. LD |
