Informations supplémentaires

The Knowth site consists of a large mound and 18 smaller satellite mounds constructed over 5, 000 years ago (about 3, 200 B.C.) by a farming community living in Ireland's Boyne River valley. Archaeologists classify the mounds as passage tombs . The large mound covers a hectare and contains two passages, placed along an east-west line. The entire mound is encircled by 127 kerbstones, many of which are decorated with megalithic art. Knowth and the adjacent Newgrange and Dowth have been designated as a World Heritage site.
