Scope and Content Detail of vault springing at north east angle in Nunnery Church, Iona The remains of the Augustinian nunnery stand on sheltered ground about 400m south west of Iona Abbey. They comprise the nunnery church and portions of the associated conventual buildings standing on the south side. The remains date from the 13th century. This view shows the remains of the point where the vaulted roof would have begun. The springing, or springer, is the point where an arch meets its support. The column supporting the vault can be seen below the fan-shaped stones of the vaulting. The church dates from the early 13th century and comprises a nave with a chancel, and with an aisle running along the north side. Abandoned in the 16th century, the ruins were consolidated in 1874 and the church partially restored in 1923. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
