Knowth is a complex of prehistoric passage tombs just west of Newgrange in County Meath, Ireland. Dating from about 3000 BC, Knowth consists of a large central mound surrounded by several smaller ones. It is especially important for its rich collection of megalithic art, which includes over 300 decorated stones.
The central mound contains two passage tombs, entered from the east and west. These are not accessible to visitors, but the eastern passage can be glimpsed from an excavated chamber.
Just spectacular!
And remember to say "spectacular" with an Irish/British accent and very exaggerated. Our tour guide that day was a tiny girl who spoke very meticulously and used the word spectacular ~ a lot!
