Knowth - Site 17 Knowth 17 located on the east side of the main mound, just to the north of the east entrance, and almost touches the kerbs. The monument is about 14 meters in diameter; very little of the mound was left, as it was ploughed down to the level of the field. There are 21 boulders from the kerb surviving on the west side of the monument. The passage is 6 meters long, and leads into a cruciform chamber which measures 3.5 x 3.2 meters. The passage is oriented due south and the orthoatsts increase in size as they approach the chamber; a disturbed capstone, which is probably from the passage, was found during the excavation. Some cremations were found in the passage, along with some pieces of flint and sherds of pottery, possibly Carrowkeel ware. Art was found on 5 of the passage stones.
