Knowth

Knowth is one of the oldest and most important Neolithic monuments in Ireland, dating to around 3200 BC.

This site impresses with Western Europe's largest collection of megalithic art - more than 200 stones decorated with spirals, diamonds and the oldest known image of the moon in human history.

As part of the UNESCO-listed Brú na Bóinne complex, Knowth offers a fascinating journey back in time. In Irish mythology, the site is associated with the goddess Buí, spouse of Lugh of the Long Arm, and known as Cnoc Buí.
