Kilkieran is a village close to Carna in Connemara. The R340 road along the coast from Galway city passes through Kilkieran.
The name derives from the Irish Cill Chiaráin meaning St. Ciarán's church.

Carna, in the heart of Gaeltacht on the shores of Galway Bay is an area where Irish is the everyday language. This is an area rich in ancient culture and tradition. In the sixth century St. McDara built a small church on one of the islands off the coast. The unique stone roof of the church has recently been restored. The saints feast day is celebrated in mid July when people make their way to island for the celebration of mass. This is also an area renowned for its skilled boat makers the best known of these being the Galway Hookers and the small craft used commonly along the west coast called the currach.
