Beehive Meditation Cell, referring to the shape of a beehive. These carved stone structures were in use around the 6th to 8th centuries throughout Ireland, where hermits and monks lived. A re-imagined version of these, created by one of Ireland's best-known sculptors, Imogen Stuart, can be seen in the Chapel of Reconciliation on the Knock Shrine site. You can even sit in this chamber and have a prayer and feel the atmosphere of the place.
