This cairn is in a great location. The Dublin plains to the north and the Wicklows to the south. The stunning views are ruined somewhat by the presence of a metal lorry container and some of the strangest aerials I have ever seen.
The cairn is 3m high and perhaps 12m in diameter. The top seems to have been robbed out slightly and some stones lie exposed on its upper surface.

My journey to Lugmore (County Dublin) took me on a roundabout route which passed this cairn. The masts are still rather offputting.
I was quite happy to come back here as many of the trees to the south of the site have been cleared and the amazing view to Seefin Hill (County Wicklow), Seahan Hill (County Dublin) and beyond is now opened up.

Follow the R114 out of Dublin and take the third right after Oldbawn. Be careful this is a nasty turn that doubles back on itself on a blind bend. Follow the road and then the track until you reach a small settlement. Park here and walk along the track through the plantation. You will reach a sharp left bend in the track where you will see a muddy path heading through the trees. The cairn is about 250m along this track where the trees open out again.
Knockannavea means 'Hill of the Raven'
