There is an ancient burial ground near Kilbrenan farmhouse.
Name Book 1878.
There was a chapel of St Brendan in Kilninian parish.
H Scott et al 1915-61.
The disused burial ground at Kilbrenan is enclosed by a broken turf-covered bank. In the centre is a slight rectangular depression measuring 7.0m by 3.0m which is almost certainly the site of a chapel, and may be that mentioned by H Scott et al (1915-61).

Burial-ground, Kilbrenan: This burial-ground is now represented only by a curving bank of turf, rising to a maximum height of about 0.6m, from which occasional stones project. This has evidently formed the E half of a boundary delimiting a circular enclosures some 24m in diameter. There are no visible grave-markers or other internal features, except for a low mound on an E-W axis which may represent the side-wall of a chapel. The dedication was evidently to St Brendan.
