An early Christian site on the Dingle Peninsula, the ancient monastery of Kilmalkedar was founded in the 7th Century by St Maolcethair. A number of interesting objects are located outside of the church, including a tall ogham stone with the inscription "ANM MAILE-INBIR MACI BROCANN" (the name of Mael Inbir, son of Brocan) and perforated with a circular hole near the top.
There is a second inscription on another side.
