Knowth

Then there is the penis stone again made of sandstone which casts a shadow into the passageway on a particular day penetrating the mound. Honouring fertility beautifully. The place felt gentle and uplifting.

Again Tina fell asleep, this time on one of the outer stones. I could have stayed there all day as the weather was blissful and the place amazing. I really loved Knowth. We stayed for a couple of hours.

We then headed to Drogehda to do a quick food shop and a visit to Millmount.
However, time was limited as Marina was leaving to go home
in the afternoon and Linda was driving her to the airport.
Also, the weather was gorgeous and we didn’t want to be in a town
with all its hustle and bustle so we only drove past Millmount and I honoured the mound
for it’s part in the alignments of all these sacred sites.
After a quick shop which was really expensive as the pound now only gets 1.21 Euros
– everything is really expensive. In fact a lot of it is double the price we pay at home and not as good!

We then drove on to Fourknocks which is small and looks like an upside down pudding.
It’s fenced in so I felt a little caged in. We had to go and get a key from a house one mile up the road!
The inside was surprisingly large.
Newgrange is a massive mound with a long passage and a small chamber.
This was a small mound with a short passageway and a large chamber
with 3 recesses and some beautiful stone carvings.
