Questions about Dowth

Is Dowth on the National Inventory?

It is on the Sites and Monuments Record (ME020-017----), the State’s list of archaeological sites.

Can you visit Dowth?

It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.

Is Dowth protected?

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
