It is <A 
href="http://www.knowth.com/fourknocks-directions.htm">located</A> 10 miles southeast of <A 
href="http://www.knowth.com/newgrange.htm">Newgrange</A> between <A href="http://www.knowth.com/ardcath.htm">Ardcath</A> in 
County Meath and the Naul in County Dublin. The name Fourknocks may be from the 
Irish <I><B>Fuair Cnocs</B></I> meaning <I><B>Cold Hills</B></I> or maybe 
<I><B>Four Cnocs</B></I> is a reference to the Four Tombs (Four Hills). Only the 
main tomb pictured above has been excavated and is open to the public. <BR></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C5F668D2-896D-471A-BC33-0DD806CC0687/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
