Knowth [Ir.
Cnobga]. One of the three great passage-tombs, 280 feet in diameter, 40–50 feet high, at the Bend of the
Boyne [
Brug na Bóinne], 1.7 miles NW of the better-known Newgrange and
Dowth.
Buí, wife of
Lug Lámfhota, has special associations with Knowth, and
Írusán, King of the Cats, lives in a cave here. The kings of northern
Brega were thought to live at Knowth in early Christian times, and the Hiberno-Norman baron Richard de Flemming claimed it
c.1175. The only Boyne passage-grave never made open to the public, Knowth has been the subject of intense scrutiny, beginning in the mid-1960s.
