don't have a picture of Site 7. Here is a shot of the big mound from a
few years ago before excavations were complete, reflected in photoshop
to make a full mound. |

Knowth 7 is located close to the cliffs by the river Boyne, about 120 meters west of the main mound. The site was identified by the tips of the stones visible through the grass. Only four orthostats remained when it was excavated in 1979, and along with a number of pits which may have been sockets, means that it may be an undifferenciated (no side recesses) passage in a mound that was perhaps 10 meters in diameter. It may have been oriented slightly south of east, like the east passage of the main mound. It's position away from the cluster is interesting, and there is a possibility that one or two more sites may have existed in the grounds of Knowth House. |
