Dublin - if you can manage a diversion north, the Boyne tombs may be Ireland's Stonehenge, but nevertheless an essential visit. Or if the crowds don't appeal, Fourknocks near Naul. Or Tara!
Ah no, Stonehenge is England's Boyne tombs...
Sorry, don't think anyone could disagree that Stonehenge is a complete and utter one off, totally out of place in these islands. Stand in the centre of the sarsen horseshoe on your own (if you are lucky enough) and I would argue nothing can touch it. Whereas you've only got to look to Carrowkeel/Loughcrew to see immediate rivals for Newgrange and Knowth.
