Four Knocks is a prehistoric burial site located in the small town of Gormanston, Ireland. The site consists of a passage tomb that dates back to the Neolithic period, approximately 5,000 years ago. The tomb is made up of a long, narrow passage that leads to a central chamber, which is surrounded by three smaller chambers. The entrance to the tomb is marked by a large stone that is carved with intricate designs.
The tomb is constructed from large stones that have been carefully placed to create a sturdy structure. The walls of the passage and chambers are lined with smaller stones, and the floor is made up of compacted earth. The central chamber is the largest of the four, and it is thought to have been used for the burial of important individuals.
One of the most striking features of Four Knocks is the artwork that adorns the walls of the chambers. The carvings depict a variety of images, including spirals, circles, and other geometric shapes. Some of the carvings are thought to represent the sun, while others may have had religious or symbolic significance.
Despite its age, Four Knocks is remarkably well-preserved. The tomb has been carefully excavated and restored, and visitors can explore the chambers and view the carvings up close. The site is surrounded by rolling hills and fields, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere that is perfect for reflection and contemplation.
Overall, Four Knocks is a fascinating and historically significant site that offers a glimpse into Ireland's ancient past. Whether you are a history buff, an archaeology enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of ancient art and architecture, Four Knocks is a must-see destination.
