- Skrine: In the barony of Tyrera and about eight miles west of Coloony, Tipraid prince of the Hy Fiachrii granted Knocknamoile to St Columb. It was afterwards called Scrinium Santi Adamnani.

Saint Adomnán of Iona (627/8 ? 704) was abbot of Iona (679-704), and was the biographer of Saint Columba. [Wikipedia]
So Knocknamoile was renamed as "Shrine of Saint Adomnan".
