Scope and Content South-east transept at Iona Abbey, Argyll and Bute The Benedictine abbey at Iona was built around AD 1200 on the site of St Columba's earlier monastery. It was altered and partly rebuilt in the 13th century and again in the 15th century. It became derelict after the Reformation of 1560. This drawing shows an elevation of part of the planned SE transept, of which only the foundations remain. This section came from one of the three internal bays on the E side. The column bases consist of a multi-faceted chamfered block below three rolls. The construction of the SE transept began in the late 13th century. It was to be a major extension to the S of the church, including both the S transept and choir-aisle. Inside it would have had three vaulted bays, but it was never completed.
