At Colaiste Ide, an Irish-speaking boarding school for girls, is a fine collection of ogham stones, which were collected from various locales by Lord Ventry.
Five of the stones are traditionally-shaped ogham stones while two are long, rounded water-rolled boulders known as pulvinars. The traditionally-shaped stones now have taken on an orange hue, assumed to have been brought about by the growth of lichen on the stones. Also present at this site is a small, font-like bullaun stone.
