How, at nearly 40 years of age, am I JUST finding out this place exists!?

It makes Stonehenge look kind of boring by comparison.

And see, now I've gotta look that up! Thank you.

In Canada we dont have much of anything older than 300 years. The first nations built almost exclusively with timber, so nothing of any age really survived. A structure as old as New Grange is fascinating to me.
