Church (Site of) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

No stone, hall or roof remains above ground in County Cork, only a buried church within a marked burial ground. It belonged to St Colman and disappeared from sight before modern mapping caught the site. The earth keeps what people forgot, holding prayer and death beneath soil instead of display.

Not shown on 1842 and 1904 OS 6-inch maps; shown on 1938 OS 6-inch map within burial ground (14114). No surface trace of church noted by Bowman (1934, 557). According to Berry (1905, 54), church dedicated to St Colman. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Dedicated to St Colman, the church at Kilcolman was likely built in the medieval period, reflecting a common Irish ecclesiastical tradition. Its location within a burial ground suggests continuity of sacred use, though no above-ground remains are currently visible.
