Identified as Site K by O'Kelly (1978, 47). Situated some 90m W of main mound (ME019-045----) of Newgrange, this site, on excavation, was shown to be a mound, c. 20m in diam., containing an undifferentiated passage-tomb, 8m long opening to the S having a triangular annex or cell attached to E side of the chamber. Two, or possibly three, phases of construction were evident. A number of structural stones bear megalithic art (O'Kelly et. al. 1978, 249-352).
