New Grange (or Newgrange) was an ancient passage tomb in Ireland, built in the Neolithic period, and built to allow for the light of the winter solstice to illuminate the passage for a short period of time. Discovered in the late seventeenth century, it is one of the most famous prehistoric structures in the world. Connely's Inn is located not far from the site. In March 1945, Indiana Jones led an excavation of a mound site near New Grange, and later faced off against the Nazi agent Dieterhoffmann over the Spear of Longinus at that site.
