The kerbstones of Knowth, County Meath
Photographed by Anthony Murphy 1999-2001

Presented on this page is the most comprehensive photographical account of the Knowth kerbstone art ever produced publicly. There are 127 kerbstones around Knowth - most of the decorated ones are pictured here, with very few exceptions. They are not arranged in sequential order.

Most of the kerbstones pictured are classified according to the official numbering system (eg kerb5, kerb74), or alternatively the numbering system of Martin Brennan (eg kerb_ne4, kerb_nw5). In cases where the kerbs were not readily identifiable from either source, I have given general indications as to their whereabouts (eg kerb_s, kerb_e_1) and in three cases I have given the "unknown" label because I do not yet know the location of the stone. For more information on the positions of these stones, refer to the books of George Eogan and Martin Brennan.
