Knowth

Smaller tomb 16.

This tomb adjoins and predates the main tomb and was originally one of the tombs with an undifferentiated passage and chamber running SW (entrance)/NE.

On the construction of the main tomb, a new entrance passage was created entering from the SE and meeting the original passage at right angles.

This is a view of that new passage looking NW to the join.
