I believe that the design falls into the category of “classical” labyrinths ... this page: http://www.labyrinthsociety.org/html/classical02.html seems to show the design. 
    <> ah, this is interesting - these labyrinths are formed from crosses, intersection of two lines at rt angles ~ just like the groundplan of Newgrange?
   
  "the sun ... in a cave ... or labyrinth [and] liberation by twin gods ... almost until our own time this myth was re-enacted each spring, in the form of labyrinth-games or dances in ... North European countries"
   
  'Eclipse of the Sun', McCrickard J, p82, 1990 
   
  Joe Tilson has used labyrinths in his art -

but the layout of that Gotland labyrinth looks somehow familiar - i'm sure i've seen similar labyrinthine designs elsewhere, but i just can't remember where?
