Dowth together with Newgrange and Knowth are the three principal megalithic passage tombs
of the Brú na Bóinne World Heritage Site. The mound is 90 metres in diameter and 15 metres
high and surrounded by kerbstones, some of which are decorated.
I run Boyne Valley Tours and noticed how often sheep are in photos of megalithic sites : Newgrange, Tara, Loughcrew, Avebury and more.
