Description
Dowth Mound at sunset (flash on leaves) , Bru na Boinne . Dowth Mound was badly damaged in the 19th century by amateur tomb-raiders in search of treasure , and looks from some angles like a stone quarry--which it was for a time . It is currently being scientifically excavated . It is 46 feet high and 206 feet in diameter . The flash from the camera did little to illuminate the mound , but lit up the overhanging leaves . From the top you could originally see both Knowth and Newgrange , but trees have grown up to obscure the view .
