 Colmán is remembered as the founder of the monastery at Cluain Uama, now Cloyne (Co. Cork, Ireland), in Munster, which lay in the kingdom of the Uí Liatháin and the Uí Meic Caille, a sept of the former.The origin legend "Conall Corc and the Corco Loígde" claims that the land for the foundation was not given by the local king, but by Coirpre (Crom) mac Crimthainn (d. "c".580), who was king of Munster from the Eóganacht Glendamnach
