Set in the middle of a suitably titled 'Giant' ring (a massive circular bank now used to exercise dogs!) is this skeleton of a passage tomb. Looking like an extended dolmen, no trace of the passage remains except for the chamber and a few outlaying stones. Well worth a visit nonetheless and also has easy access and parking.

One of Irelands most appealing portal tombs, Haroldstown Dolmen apparently housed a family during the famine in the 1840's. Its solid and robust feel is enhanced by the collapsed rear capstone covering the rear of the chamber, and the remains of its cairn prop up the rear. Photos taken on a spectacular 15 minute sunset show on New Years Eve 2004.

Home  >  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.
