Beehive house
 |
A beehive house is a primitive type of building made from a circle of stones topped with a domed roof. The name comes from the similarity in shape to a straw beehive.
The ancient Bantu used this type of house also, which was made with mud, poles, and cow dung.
Beehive houses are known from as far back as around 2000 BC in Ireland and Scotland, and some were still being built as late as the nineteenth century.
