Kilmalkedar Holy Well

Kathleen Reen

The Early Christian and Medieval ecclesiastical complex at Kilmalkedar (KE042-026----) lies at the foot of the W slopes of Reenconnell hill, overlooking Smerwick Harbour.
The Reenconnell ridge peaks at 907 feet/276m to NE of the site and the area around Kilmalkedar is sheltered on its N and S sides by spurs of this hill.
The holy well located in the field to W of the roadway is now dry but the lintelled hollow that marks its site is still preserved. The cross-inscribed stone standing beside it is .92m high and bears a plain Latin cross on its W face.
