beehive house

In archaeology, a building made of unhewn stones without mortar. Resembling a beehive in shape, it consists of long stones laid down in a circle, each course being overlapped by the one immediately above it. Structures of this type were built in Ireland and western Scotland from the 7th to the 12th centuries AD.

Well-preserved examples of churches, priests' houses, and other buildings created in this fashion exist on Church Island and Skellig Michael in County Kerry, Republic of Ireland.
