BC the original structure is almost 1000 years older than Stonehenge. The mound at Newgrange is constructed of alternating layers of earth and stone‚ with grass growing on top and a reconstructed façade of flattish white quartz stones dotted at intervals and large round cobbles covering part of the circumference of the mound. The mound itself is about 76m across‚ and 12m tall at its highest point. Within the mound a passage stretches for just less than 19m 5ft which is about a third of the way

exterior of Newgrange is a large mound of rocks and turf that is roughly 280 ft. in diameter. The mound is retained by 97 kerbstones that skirt its base. Most of them have very clear examples of prehistoric Irish artwork carved into them. Outside of Newgrange there are also 12 standing stones that were likely placed at the site roughly 100 years after the tomb was built. Some archaeologists believe that they were once part of a group of 38 stones that once encircled the mound. During the excavation of

into. In the 1960’s the mound height was set at 15 inches high‚ until 1968. That year‚ the baseball commissioner dropped the mound height to 10 inches. The height difference of a mound drastically changes how a pitcher throws. In the 1960’s more pitchers reached over 300 wins within their careers. In modern days it is rarely to see a pitcher throw over 300 wins. This effect is caused by the downward motion of the ball.

in which they plant in mulch mounds. The mounds are formed by piling large amounts of grass and covering the grass with dirt (Wohlt‚ 2004). The mound size depends upon the size of elevation. The functions of the mounds are to protect against frost‚ which frequently occurs in high altitudes. Sweet potatoes mature in about 9 months. When the harvest is complete‚ they pull apart the mound and mulch with the leaves and old crop. Once the mulch starts to decompose‚ the mound is then rebuilt for new planting
