What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records South Ronaldsay, Kirk Geo, St Colm's Chapel as Chapel (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
St Colm's Chapel is associated with St Colm (also known as Columba of Terryglass), an Irish monk and missionary active in northern Britain during the 6th century. The site may have been a place of pilgrimage and prayer, reflecting the spread of early Christian monasticism in the Orkney Islands.
