Which interestingly is one of the things Enoch spoke about when telling of his travels with the arch-angel Uriel at the time he was taken to be shown mysteries.
For a better understanding of this connection try reading "Uriel's Machine" by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas.

According to Western scholars its older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) date from about 300 BC and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably was composed at the end of 1st century BC; It is argued that all the writers of the New Testament were familiar with it and were influenced by it in thought and diction.

I'm pretty sure the white quartz walls are just part of the restoration project. I don't think it's part of the original. It probably would have been just a large mound of grass, besides the 37 standing stones.
Megalithic mounds such as Newgrange entered Irish mythology as sídhe or fairy mounds. Newgrange was said to be the home of Oenghus, the god of love. The Passage Tomb at Newgrange was re-discovered in 1699 by the removal of material for road building. A major excavation of Newgrange began in 1962; the original facade of sparkling white quartz was rebuilt using stone found at the site.
