Regions of the Iveragh and Beara peninsulas are virtually untouched since Neolithic and Bronze Age settlers built great burial cairns to honour their dead, and erected alignments and circles of stone to mark the passing of the seasons and the movements of the sun and moon. The Dingle peninsula is dotted with the small early ecclesiastical settlements and hermitages where early monks sought a refuge from the material world and union with the divine, while North Kerry with its rolling plains, ringforts, castles and abbeys, is a monument to the county\u2019s medieval past.<\/p>\n\n\n
