    My images are designed to compliment each other and one is never enough! I will automatically apply a 3 for 2 discount on all orders of limited edition prints.
  • Fourknocks is a small but extraordinary passage-tomb monument of the Neolithic. The mound is less than 20 metres in diameter, meaning it is less than a quarter of the diameter of the great Neolithic cairn of Newgrange, which lies less than ten miles away. However, the interior of Fourknocks contains a large chamber which has almost three times the floor area of Newgrange. Using a fisheye lens, it is just possible to capture a view of Fourknocks from close quarters showing the entire extent of the mound.

Fourknocks is a small but extraordinary passage-tomb monument of the Neolithic located in southeastern Co. Meath, near the modern-day border between Meath and Dublin. The mound is less than 20 metres in diameter, meaning it is less than a quarter of the diameter of the great Neolithic cairn of Newgrange, which lies less than ten miles away. However, the interior of Fourknocks contains a large chamber which has almost three times the floor area of Newgrange. Using a fisheye lens, it is just possible to capture a view of Fourknocks from close quarters showing the entire extent of the mound.

Visitors to Fourknocks can obtain the key from a nearby house (for a returnable deposit of €20) and enter the monument to explore its wonderful megalithic art. It was excavated in 1950 by archaeologist P.J. Hartnett.
