Kilmalkadar

One of the first places we saw on the peninsula was this church. It dates back to the 12th century. This plaque describes the church.















To get to the church you had to go over a stone fence that had steps built into it like in Larkrise to Candleford! So cool!



This is the church. It has a nave and a chancel. The stone work is so cool!


The picture on the left below is the alphabet stone. It was used to teach the latin alphabet back in the 6th century. The stone on the right is a ogham stone. It was around the same age.
