just off kirkinner's main street (a746 whithorn road) stands the parish church of st kennera (also cinnera or cannera). the 19th century church stands on the site of a 13th-14th century foundation and perhaps an even earlier monastic cell where lived the 4th century hermitess, saint kennera. inside the church stands a 4 foot high cross-slab dating from the 10th century ad. on the stone is carved a celtic style disc-headed cross. the stone slab had apparently stood at the western side of the church for some time before being brought into the church for safety.
