Newgrange shouldn't really qualify as the oldest surviving building, since the exterior wall and its entire current form are a reconstruction built in the 19th century - the only original parts are the tomb entrance and interior, and a large carved block in the exterior wall. The whole lot was covered by a hill until it was excavated. Nowadays you cant even visit the original site, you must go to a completely fake "visitor centre" across the valley from the real thing.
