Kilmalkedar, Medieval church and monastic site in County Kerry, Ireland
The Romanesque church structure features detailed stone carvings on its doorway and chancel arch, with a visible east window placement.
The monastery, established in the 6th century, developed into one of Kerry's wealthiest parishes during medieval times until the 16th century.
The site forms part of Cosán na Naomh pilgrimage route, with local traditions including nine clockwise circuits performed on Easter Sunday.
The ecclesiastical complex remains accessible throughout the year, with parking space for three vehicles directly next to the site.
An ancient alphabet stone from the 6th century displays the inscription 'dni', while a rare medieval sundial stands among only nine in Ireland.
