Kilmalkedar is a medieval ecclesiastical site and National Monument located in County Kerry, Ireland.
[9] It was a traditional assembly site for pilgrims, who followed the Saint's Road (Casán na Naomh)[10] northeast to Mount Brandon.
[11] Some of the rituals carried out by locals, like performing nine clockwise circuits of the site on Easter Sunday, or the boring of holes in standing stones, suggest remnants of Celtic religion; Kilmalkedar may well have been a religious site long before Christianity arrived.
[13] A hole in the east wall of the chancel is called "the eye of the needle"; if one can fit through it, one is certain to go to heaven.
[16] The Ogham stone (CIIC 187) reads ẠṆM MẠỊLE-INBIR/ MACI BROCANN ("Name of Máel-Inbher son of Broccán") and dates to c. AD 600.
