The complex of passage tombs at Knowth is dated c. 3200-2900 BC,
and this volume deals with one of the most significant aspects of
the site. It presents a complete catalogue of the 390 recorded
carved stones at Knowth, through descriptions, drawings and
photographs. Six main styles of art have been identified and these
are discussed, together with the motifs and techniques employed.
The Knowth carvings constitute c. 46% of all such art in Ireland,
and the volume sets the Knowth art in the context of the other
Irish carvings, those in western and northern Britain, and also the
somewhat earlier art found on megalithic tombs in Atlantic Europe.
