Interesting place. What I found amazing is the echo inside the tomb when we are walking or make any sound. Great Megalith which gives a good experience for historians or history lovers. Wonderful place in mid of farming fields, from the top I witnessed the beauty of waving crop around. My luck, there was a lady already visiting the place, and allowed me in as well. So, I didn't need to get key from Mr.White.

This place was a proper little find. Totally inconspicuous, beautifully kept, surrounded by wonderful views. A little turnstile on the side of the road, maybe a 200 metre walk and there’s this lovely grass mound with a little stone entrance. Note: we happened to meet a man by chance who had the key to the tomb so he happily let us in. Nice fellow. There is a number there to call though for a key holder. It was so quiet, so tranquil and at the complete opposite end of the spectrum to Newgrange down the road. The carvings on the stones are very well preserved. The tomb is dark and a little chilly but not big by any means. A lovely look back in time at how our ancestors lived their lives. A nice leisurely 40 mins or so is all it takes. If you’re into old old old Irish history and traditions it’s definitely worth a visit.

Super cool experience! You have to get a key from Mr. White (eircode A42 FN40; €20 deposit) to access this passage tomb with 5000+ year-old Megalithic artwork! It's a private viewing!

Very cool spot not on many itineraries, but worth the trip. Amazing carvings in the old tomb and it was incredible to have it all to ourselves when we went. The homeowner with the key was so nice too.

A hidden gem just a bit off the beaten path. An ancient structure free to visit with a deposit to get the key. I was just humbled by the 5000 year old structure and can't even begin to imagine to feet that had been there before me. This site is well worth the short journey and if you don't have time for New Grange this is a excellent substitute. It was serene and pleasant. It is kept quite nicely as well. It is obviously respected. The key for the entrance door to Fourknocks Megalithic Passage Tomb can be obtained before 6pm from the White family by calling +35318354722 and leaving a deposit. 2 groups arrived while I was there and I let the back in as they didn't know about the key. So take a few minutes to call and get the details. We'll worth the trip. And a short walk from the road.

Amazing experience. I highly recommend visiting this amazing piece of Irish history. The person who gave me the key was lovely to deal with and very welcoming. I will definitely be back again, it was an excellent place to visit. Ancient neolithic Irish artwork and history and well preserved.

This was a unique tomb experience you should definitely visit. I was fortunate that I saw the steps over the wall and cars opposite which told me where to park and walk. DON'T take Google directions literally as they send you 100m too far west. As noted you need a key to get inside. I was fortunate that the family visiting when I arrived already had a key, and they allowed me to tour the inside. The roof is not original but provides nice illumination on the carvings. Key info: Mr Finton White, 1 mile west, not verified but likely 53.5934186, -6.3497124

A wonderful, peaceful, sacred place. Visited on a sunny day, which really showed off the fantastic views nearby also. Met some wonderful people who were visiting too, and who were very respectful of the "tomb". Would recommend especially for folk who are genuinely interested in ancient cultures and lost knowledge. I was so enraptured, I forgot to take more photos of the outside (didn't feel right taking them inside, such was the special energy there).
