Orthostat 41 is located in the largest megalithic tomb (Tomb 1 West) at Knowth, County Meath, Ireland (ME019-030001-). It is decorated with incised lines which outline area-picked triangles. The principal design, which covers most of the stone, consists of three rows of upright triangles at the top of the stone, a mix of triangles and lozenges on the middle-right, a herringbone panel at the middle-left, and a smaller group of pendant triangles on the lower-left. There is also an ogham inscription.
