Glanfahan, Archaeological site in County Kerry, Ireland
Located on the southern slopes of Mount Eagle, Glanfahan contains 417 dry stone structures, 19 underground passages, and 18 standing stones.
The structures at Glanfahan date to the early Christian period between the 5th and 8th centuries, connected to monastic traditions and pilgrimages to Skellig Michael.
