Dear Anonymous Coward, The actual point of sunrise is an azimuth, it is NOT an angle to the horizon. The observation point is the central chamber of Newgrange - it does not move as you contend. Also, we're not dealing with compass bearings, but true readings. Do you really think such an alignment was accidental? There is huge precedence to believe such a thing was intentional. Many many ancient sites are located along imaginary lines. And yes, the Sunset from Newgrange over other local sites is significant too, including Knowth as you mention.

Most amazing thing about Newgrange and Stonehenge

If you follow the line of Winter Solstice sunrise out of the chamber of Newgrange, it will eventually intersect with Stonehenge. What's more, this line continues through megalithic sites in Malta and on towards Giza . . . More at: http://www.newgrangeireland.com/
