Description
Kilquane (Cill Chuáin) church ruins in the parish of Ballymacelligott, diocese of Ardfert, barony of Corkaguiny, were described in 1841 as follows; 'In the townland of Kilquane is the site of an old church about thirty feet [9.1m] in length and fifteen feet [4.57m] in breadth but its walls are destroyed nearly to the very foundations. This church was dedicated to the celebrated Saint Cuan Airbre, the second Abbot of Mothel in the Desies near Carrick-on-Suir' (O'Donovan 1983, 65). Poorly preserved church site described in 1999 as; 'Situated on a slightly raised area of land with good views in all directions.

- KE030-028 Standing stone
Description
'This 2.10m tall, irregularly shaped standing stone is situated immediately to the north-west of a bi-vallate ringfort (KE030-029----) in a field which is used for grazing. This field is bounded to the west and south by the River Lee, and the surrounding land contains areas of limestone outcrop. This red sandstone gallaun is aligned NNW/SSE, rectangular at base where it measures 0.50m by 0.35, bulges out slightly about 1.0m above the ground to 0.60m by 0.40m, before tapering to a point. A 10cm wide, 2cm deep band has been worn into the stone c.0.20m from the base, although no pock marks are evident. Two hollows occur on the north face of the stone, 8cm and 4cm wide respectively, and both 2cm deep. These are natural solution hollows. This stone stands on the western limits of a low mound. The survey carried out by the Irish Tourism Association in 1944-45 (MS copy Kerry County Library) describes the fort at Lissooleen (KE030-029----) as two ringed with a north facing entrance. It also note that outside the entrance there is a tall slender "gallaun" 8feet high and that 2 feet above the ground a ring has been worn in the stone.'
