We were excited to see these beehive huts. They were built about 4000 years ago and were inhabited until 1200 A.D. They were made so the rain would slope away from the interior of the inside. The walls are 1 1/2 meters thick. There are many of these remnants all over the southeastern part of Ireland, but very few are fully intact. Some of them were used by monks following St. Patrick.
To get to these huts we hiked with the goats! They didn't really mind us being there.
