Strange and ancient looking stone structures found on artist Jim Sullivan's Schoharie County NY property... are they inspired by Irish stone hut structures, particularly beehive huts or clocháns?  Theunique dry-stone constructions, often found in the southwest of Ireland, including the Dingle Peninsula.  These structures are characterized by their distinctive beehive shape, built using corbelled stone techniques without mortar. They were likely used as monastic cells, shelters, or secular dwellings, with some dating back to the early medieval period.
