Glochans are the distinctive beehive huts built of stone, which were used as monk's cells. Many are on offshore islands such as Bishop's Island, Co. Clare, High Island, Co. Galway, Innishmurray, Co. Sligo, and the breathtakingly beautiful Skellig Michael , Co. Kerry. There are many more accessible ones on The Dingle Peninsula, including the delightful Gallarus Oratory
