  • Dingle peninsula. Kilmalkedar monastery, an ogham stone. Ogham is an Early Medieval alphabet used primarily to write the Old Irish language.

It includes structures built in the Early Christian era through ones built in the fifteenth century. Although primarily a Christian site, it includes some pagan elements. Supposedly, it was founded by Saint Maolcethair, son of the King of Ulster, who died at this site in 636. He chose it because of its proximity to Mount Brandon, a pre-Christian religious symbol, and the pilgrim’s track which leads to Mount Brandon passes through Kilmalkedar.
