Together with the sites of Newgrange and Dowth, Knowth makes up the archaeological complex at Br? na BÃ?Â?Ã?Â?inne, and there has been enormous interest in this internationally important site over the years. George Eogan has been excavating the site at Knowth since 1962 and this is the second major report published in the Academy's Monographs in Archaeology series. The book deals with prehistoric settlement at the site starting with the arrival of people who practised farming there about 4000 years ago and it records important new evidence for settlement.
