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.
No trace of the church is now visible but 2 pivot stones lying loose in the graveyard may be related. One (KE034-106005-) is a rectangular slab with a central perforation measuring 0.12m in diameter; this resembles the pivot stones preserved above the doorway in Gallarus oratory (KE042-071004-). The 2nd stone is broken but preserves a small perforation measuring 0.03m in diameter.
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.
