Aerial photographs: Knowth megalithic passage tomb

From the air, Knowth reads as a dense ceremonial cluster: the Great Mound ringed by kerbstones and smaller satellite tombs, set in the bend of the Boyne within Brú na Bóinne. These views show how the site relates to Newgrange and the river that defines the valley.
