Day by Day Itinerary
London - Dublin
We take a flight to Dublin Airport and transfer to Fourknocks, home to a remarkable example of a passage tomb. This ancient burial site is preserved under a concrete dome, with carefully placed lighting apertures to show the unusual decoration to good effect. The remains of at least sixty individuals were found here and grave goods included stone and bone pendants and beads, as well as bone pins. After exploring this site, we continue to our hotel in Dublin for one night.
