The OPW guy at Gallarus told us of two more sites in the vicinity that sounded interesting: a ruined 12th century church with an Ogham stone, a sun dial stone, and an alphabet stone; and a ruined monastery. We headed first to the church, Kilmalkedar Church, a 12th century Romanesque building, with the aforementioned stones quite intact.
