Fourknocks is a passage chamber built about 5000 years ago. It is located about 16 miles north west of Malahide. The name Fourknocks may come from Fuair Cnocs (cold hills) describing its exposed location or more recently from Four Cnocs (four hills or tombs) meaning Newgrange, Knowth, Dowth and itself.
The Fingal area has many hidden treasures to explore, Fourknocks is probably the oldest of these amazing places.
