The National Monuments Service's description
Kilquane church and graveyard/ Cill Chuáin (KE034-106004-): The modern rectangular graveyard and site of the medieval parish church are located directly S of Kilquane village at the foot of the W slopes of Brandon Peak.
Bullaun Stone (KE034-106002-): An irregularly-shaped stone measuring 0.8 x 0.78m, with a large irregularly-shaped depression, 0.43 x 0.53m, on its upper surface. At the base of the larger depression are 3 circular depressions varying from 0.13 to 0.21m in diameter and from 0.14 to 0.08m in depth.
Church (KE034-106003-): There appears to have been a church here by 1475 (Cal Pap Reg, 13, 460). It is not included however in the list of churches in the diocese in 1622 (TCD Ms 2158, 94) and may have fallen into disrepair before that date.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 857. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
