i think the main function of it was something to do with astronomy , the way on the shortes day of the year the light goes through the roof box and it lights up all the details on the sides and the roof, and its only happening for 17 minutes each year.

but also i think it have something to do with the cult of celebrating life and death

Newgrange is a neolithic tomb, 5,000 years old, built by a farming community probably as a burial place for their ancestors as well as a place of worship.
