An early Christian site on the Dingle Peninsula, the ancient monastery of Kilmalkedar was founded in the 7th Century by St Maolcethair. Despite this, the site is associated strongly with St. Brendan, who maintained a residence here according to legend. The existing church is a 12th Century Romanesque building. Many of the features which typify Irish Romanesque architecture are present. Inside the church is the alphabet stone with both 6th Century (and earlier) Latin writing and an inscribed cross.
