(Coffey, 1897b, 23). Loughcrew is sometimes referred to as "Sliabh na Callighe" as this was the name of the highest hill (Coffey, 1897b, 23). The native rocks of Loughcrew are Silurian grits; archaeologists believe that large slabs taken from this Silurian grit were used in the construction of the passages and tombs of a Loughcrew, (Coffey, 1897b, 23). Dronfield describes Loughcrew as being a group of tombs distributed across three neighbouring hilltops of Carnbane West, Carnbane East and Patrickstown (Dronfield, 1995, 542). The area of Loughcrew looks over the whole landscape. When observing the location of the Boyne Valley tombs, Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, they cover over an acre of the ground (Eogan, 1999, 421). The three mounds are all situated on the highest local ground and grouped in a cemetery (O"Kelly, 1973, 4). It is believed that in ancient scripts Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth were referred to as Bru, Cnogba and Dubad respectively (Coffey, 1897b, 75). When looking at Newgrange it consists of one cluster with one large tomb and three small satellites (Dronfield, 1995a, 54). Knowth consists of one massive mound and seventeen satellites and finally Dowth consists of one mound containing two tomb structures adjacent to one another (Dronfield, 1999, 542). Newgrange is said to be the central tumulus of the three because of its location. When looking at the location of Loughcrew and the mounds of the Boyne Valley they are situated on higher ground in prominent areas of the landscape to which they can be seen from afar. Their location may have been central foci in the landscape of significance, ritual and perhaps symbolic meaning and perhaps gives one an insight into their purpose and meaning.
The earliest art found in passage - graves may be a "representation of altered states of consciousness" (O"Sullivan, 1997, 20). The type of art found in passage graves can be divided into three different groups, general undiagnostic, endogenous and nonendogenous (Dronfield, 1995a, 544).
