Knowth Passage Tomb, and three of its satellite tombs, Co. Meath
Click on the photo for a larger view.
Knowth is a large complex of 18 passage tombs, with a magnificent central tomb which is larger than Newgrange or Dowth and which is also adorned with far more megalithic art. Existing under the shadow of Newgrange which has been controversially reconstructed according to one view of how it once looked, Knowth appears at first untouched after restoration though both chambers are now inaccesibile.
