According to the information that I found about Kilmalkedar Church,
it is the most important church site on the Dingle Peninsula. The site is
traditionally associated with St. Brendan, but was reputedly founded by St. Maolcethair,
whose death is recorded in the Martyrology of Donegal under the year 636. There
are no remains of the early monastery except possibly for the Ogham stone with
the inscription of "Anm Maile Inbir Maci Brocann".

It was a serene church and cemetery with headstones so old that the names and dates were no longer visible along with some that were only 30 years old which offered a wider view of our lives as a whole and how they might all be interconnected throughout history.
