Knowth is much more accessible than Newgrange, and I suspect, at least as significant. In 2010 there were trees growing out of the mound, and sheep and tourists grazing over it's surface.

I have been to Newgrange and it is a very humbling and awe inspiring site.

The Irish government funding as little as it is has borne fruit!
