Interesting site
Dowth is a Neolithic tomb, also called Dubhadh in Irish. It is part of the Newgrange and Knowth which are considered UNESCO World Heritage sites. To visit, you first have to get to the archaeological site, where you take a electric minibus, because the site is very large.
Admission is 6 euros and will allow you access to a small and informative museum. If you want to see other Neolithic sites, there is an additional cost. Dowth tomb is the oldest of the three that can be visited (Newgrane and Knowth are the other two). Is less developed as a tourist attraction because it has many interior decorations.
For thousands of years this place has been open and the interior decorations and tombs have been badly damaged due to the light, rain, farmers in the region who came to throwing parties. The tombs are similar to hills made of stones, Dowth measures 90 meters in diameter and 15 meters high, and has smaller mounds around. It is thought that they first burned their dead during a ceremony and then buried them in the tombs.
