These are bullaun stones, boulders or slabs bearing deliberately carved cup-shaped depressions whose precise original purpose remains uncertain, though they are commonly associated with Early Christian ecclesiastical sites across Ireland and were likely used for grinding, ritual, or both. What makes this grouping quietly interesting is the curatorial decision behind it: the three stones were gathered from various points across the site and formally arranged together, their individual histories collapsed into a single display.

The site itself is part of the Early Christian church settlement known as Kilcolman, or Cill na gColmán, a place-name that preserves a dedication to Saint Colmán. It occupies a south-facing slope of an east-west spur of Lateevemore, a position that would have given its inhabitants a commanding view down to Ventry Harbour. The three bullaun stones vary considerably in size. The smallest measures roughly 21 centimetres square, with a depression just 8 centimetres across and 2 centimetres deep; the middle one is 28 by 20 centimetres, its hollow 11 centimetres in diameter and 3 centimetres deep. The largest of the three has its own separate record. All three now stand in front of an ogham stone, ogham being the early medieval Irish script carved as a series of notches and strokes along the edges of upright stones, and closely associated with the same period of Early Christian activity. The site was surveyed and documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula.
