Can sound solve the mysteries of the 5,000-year-old Neolithic grave at Newgrange in Ireland? With Joanna Pinnock. From 2001.
The Passage Grave at Newgrange in Ireland - built around 5,000 years ago - is one of the most well-preserved Neolithic sites of its kind.
Archaeologist Aaron Watson and acoustics expert Dave Keating visit the site and conduct a series of tests to try to determine how Neolithic man might have experienced such a monument through sound.
Presented by Joanna Pinnock.
Producer: Sheena Duncan
