This looks SO much like Gallarus Oratory near Dingle in Co. Kerry, Ireland! Could it possibly have originated as an early tomb like this one? 'Spanish' settlers could have used the Atlantic sea route to the Dingle Peninsula.

I visited this site in 1991 and crawled inside to see the two tiered arrangement for burials. If I can find my pix I will upload them. It really is inspiring.

Check out this link and see how similar these buildings are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallarus_Oratory
When visiting in 2001 I suggested to a group of Austrians that they sing together in there. It was magical.
