Knowth, the mound with the largest collection of megalithic art

Knowth is the other great mound of Brú na Bóinne, very close to Newgrange: an enormous mound surrounded by smaller mounds, with a reconstruction of a wooden circle. Its carved stones form the largest collection of megalithic art in western Europe. Unlike Newgrange, here you do not enter the chambers: the visit is outside, going up to the top of the mound.

There are fewer visits than to Newgrange: the Knowth visit with the exhibition is one a day and only in some seasons (in 2025, from late February to April and from October to early November). You book just the same, on the Heritage Ireland website, and it leaves from the visitor centre by shuttle.
