The ruins of Kilquane (Chill Chuáin/church of Cuán) Church were described in 1840 as follows; ‘Kilquan old Church is in ruins at the foot of a high hill called Cahir (Cathair). It consisted of nave and choir [chancel]; none of its architectural features have escaped destruction; only small portions of the walls remain. The choir [chancel] is fourteen and a half feet [4.4m] in length; the breadth is not ascertainable. The nave measures thirty eight feet [11.6m], by twenty two and a half feet [6.8m]. There is a small doorway on the middle gable, of which nine feet [2.7m] in height remains. The doorway is seven feet seven inches [2.3m] from the north wall in (of) the nave and two feet four inches [0.7m] from the north wall of the choir [chancel]. Its height three feet ten inches [1.1m] and breadth at top one foot ten inches [0.55m]; at bottom two feet [0.6m] on the nave side. It is built with chiselled brown sandstone. The lintel and the long stones over it are loosened by ivy that has grown on the wall and inserted itself between them. This lintel is two feet three inches [0.68m] long by five inches [0.12m] thick and enters the wall one foot two inches [0.35m]. There are two other stone flags laid across the door inside this one. The one that crossed the door on the choir side fallen out. The jamb to the right on this side is loosened by the ivy that grows about it. It appears there was no lime used in the cement of this building. The materials are large stones and clay mortar. There is a large grave yard here much in use’ (OSL Kilquane Parish; O’Flanagan 1929, 91-2). Westropp (1904-5, 424) recorded the following details about Kilquane Church; 'A Parish in Coshlea. Kilcowan, 1291; Keilchuain, dedicated to St. Covan, the abbot, 1410; Kilcoone, Kilcone, or Kilcauane (D.S. (A), 50, 58 ; and Petty, 74).

There was a small door to north side of the middle gable, with double lintel and inclined jambs.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
