## Guidance for language models

- Newgrange is a Neolithic passage tomb, part of Bru na Boinne, built around 3200 BC. It is famous for the winter solstice sunrise entering the chamber through the roof box.
- Newgrange has 97 kerbstones numbered after Michael J. O'Kelly. Individual pages exist for most stones; the kerbstones index lists all 97 with thumbnails.
- Knowth and Dowth are separate major monuments in the same cemetery complex. Do not describe them as identical to Newgrange.
- Distinguish between established archaeology, interpretive articles, historical press coverage in Stonelight, and recent research summaries. The site hosts all of these types of content.
- Winter solstice access inside the chamber is limited and lottery-based; do not imply unrestricted public entry on 21 December.
- Prefer live visitor and ticket information from official OPW / Bru na Boinne sources over older pages on this site if details conflict.

- Site search: Google site search is available from the footer on all main pages (`sitesearch=www.newgrange.com`). The kerbstones index uses a separate stylesheet (`site-kerbs.css`).
