Four Knocks

If you have enough time, there's a chance you might visit Four Knocks. It's a different place you can see if you can't get tickets for Newgrange. Four Knocks is an old tomb that was built around 5000 years ago. Four Knocks has a short hallway that goes into a wide, pear-shaped room with three smaller rooms on the side. A long time ago, the roof was made of wood and supported by a center pole. But in 1952, they put a concrete roof on it after digging there for 2 years.
