 Kilcolman is an early eccesiastical site overlooking Ventry Harbour on the Dingle Peninsula consisting of a circular earthen bank enclosure with a diameter of approximately 150 feet within which were, at one time, a church, two huts, a number of graves and gravemarkers, and a number of stones.
Highlight of the site is a cross-inscribed ogham stone which is located in the southeast corner of the site. The ogham inscription runs up the left-hand side and over the top of the main cross. One observer indicates that it reads "ANM COLMAN AILITHIR" -- translated as Colman the Pilgrim.
