Fahan Beehive Huts, Fahan, Kerry

Families can explore the Fahan Beehive Huts, which are ancient stone structures, along with inscribed stones, crosses, and ring forts on the Dingle Peninsula.

The Fahan Beehive Huts comprises 19 souterrain and 18 standing clochans (beehive huts). There are also inscribed stones, sculptured crosses and earthen ring forts, all located on the Dingle Peninsula’s Slea Head Road in County Kerry.

The fascinating beehive huts are characteristic of the area and owe their shape to the ancient method of construction known as drystone corbelling.
