Kilternan Church

Another church dating from the same period is located in Kilternan. Measurements for the outside are 48 feet x 24 feet and the walls are 9 inches thick. The building itself was oblong in shape and did not have a chancel. There was a font found near the church. Saint Tiernan is associated with the church, although little is known about his life. The ruins consist of east and west gable walls. Inside the church there is a bullaun stone, with religious connotations. The monks at St.Mary's Abbey used the church, but following on from the dissolution of the Abbey, there is no record of it being used. The parish was amalgamated with Bray after the Restoration, up until the nineteenth century.
