From this page...

http://www.knowth.com/winter-solstice.htm

.... we learn that...

"When Newgrange was built over 5000 years ago, the winter solstice sunbeam would have made its way to the back recess of the central chamber. Due to changes in the tilt of the Earth's axis the sunbeam now stops 2 metres from the back recess."
