Fourknocks

Fourknocks Passage grave dates to around 2,500 BC . It is a cruciform passage tomb with many scribings, one of which is said to represent a human face, the only one we know of from this period. Around Fourknocks are the remains of an ancient burial trench and a cremation trench.

 

Situated: Around a mile North-West of The Naul in Co Meath is the townland of Fourknocks. You can collect a Key from Mrs Whites approximately 400 yards away from the tumulus.

On the left is a pic of the Stone with a design inscribed which is said to represent a face. I have drawn over the lines so you can see it more clearly.
