Ult.; Reeves’s Adamnan, ed. 1874, p. 351. Dr. R. suggests that the glen in Iona called Gleann-an-teampul may have been the site of this monastery and taken its name from it; but the passage implies that the Baile, or town, was situated in Cro Ia, and was injured by it. It was probably near where the parish church is situated, behind which there are the remains of an old burying-ground.
