Activity itinerary

Four Knocks

  • 2h
The Four Knocks Neolithic passage tomb site is located near Naul in County Meath. The site, dating back to around 3000 BCE, consists of a mound with a cruciform chamber. Named for the Irish “Cnoc,” meaning hill, Four Knocks is notable for its ancient art and archaeological significance. Although no documented battle occurred here, the site reflects the social and spiritual life of Neolithic people in Ireland, offering insight into early burial and ritual practices. Note: Travel time from your hotel is included in the time spent on this attraction.

Dowth Passage Tomb

  • 1h
Set in the historic heart of County Meath’s Boyne Valley, Dowth stands as a powerful testament to Ireland’s ancient origins. Built more than 5,000 years ago, this remarkable Neolithic site features a sprawling mound that conceals two separate passage chambers. What truly sets Dowth apart is its breathtaking collection of megalithic art: intricate spirals, concentric circles, zigzags, and rare cup-and-ring motifs carved directly into its ancient stone faces. Archaeologists have uncovered human remains and sacred artefacts within its depths, shedding light on the complex ritual customs of early farming societies. Today, Dowth remains one of Ireland's most captivating monuments, keeping the artistic legacy of the ancient past alive.

Monasterboice Monastic Site

  • 2h
Located in County Louth, this is an early Christian monastic site founded in the late 5th century by St. Buithe, a disciple of St. Patrick. The site thrived as a centre of religion and learning until the establishment of nearby Mellifont Abbey in 1142. Monasterboice is renowned for its impressive high crosses, including Muiredach’s High Cross, considered one of the finest examples of Celtic stone carving in Ireland. The site also features a round tower, which once served as a refuge during Viking raids. Today, Monasterboice stands as an important archaeological and historical monument, attracting many visitors. PS: Travel time back to your hotel is included in the time spent on this attraction
