Kilcandra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kilcandra (Irish: Cill Chainre, meaning 'church of Cainnere or Caindere')[1] is a small townland in the barony of Arklow and the civil parish of Dunganstown in County Wicklow, Ireland.[1] It may be the site of an early Christian church or monastic site which was dedicated to or founded by a female saint named Cainnere.[1] The townland, which is approximately 0.7 square kilometres (0.3 sq mi) in area,[2] had a population of 15 people (in 5 homes) as of the 2011 census.[3]

There is also a separate townland, in Glenealy civil parish in County Wicklow, also called Kilcandra (Irish: Coill Mhic Aindric).[4]
