| The lozenge shapes carved into the lintel stone over the southern recess. This stone faces the passageway and entrance. | The lintel stone which originally sat over the entrance passageway, but which now sits slightly to the size. Note the many zig-zags on this stone. |
 |
 |
| The lintel stone above the west recess of Fourknocks, also heavily decorated with zig-zags. | This is another stone situated above the passage, just where it meets the chamber. |

 |
| The east recess at Fourknocks. Holes in the metal ceiling allow natural light in. | The south recess of Fourknocks, with lintel stone, lit by natural light from the ceiling. |
 |
 |
| The western recess with lintel stone. I have to say, I just love the light. Cold but atmospheric! | An overall view of the Fourknocks chamber. I've been wanting to take this photo for years, since I saw it in George Eogan's Knowth book. |

| The front of the stone which is sitting in the chamber against the wall. | The side of the same stone in the chamber with the zig-zag pattern which is prominent at Fourknocks. | This is the one they call the "Face" stone. There's supposed to be a face on it - can you see it? |
