The National Monuments Service's description
National Monument No. 10044. Kilcolman/Cill na gColmán: An Early Christian church site KE042-141001- lying on the S slopes of an E-W spur of Lateevemore, overlooking Ventry Harbour.
(5) A small stone, measuring .41 x .23m, is inscribed on one face with a plain Latin cross. It now lies loose in the NE part of the enclosure but may formerly have acted as a gravemarker.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 868. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
