The priory continued in operation until at least 1560, the year of the Scottish Reformation, with the last known prior, Robert Lamont, having been elected in 1555.

The lands and property of the priory were given in commendam to Maol Choluim MacDubhthaich in 1561.

They were later given to the Bishop of the Isles by King James VI of Scotland after his ascendancy to the throne in 1583.

Restoration work and excavation and recording were carried out in 1883 by the architect William de B M Galloway and again in 1927 by the Ministry of Works and are visible today, together with the High Cross, as a scheduled ancient monument.

The High Cross stands about four metres east of the ruins of the monastery church and rises from a four-tiered foundation.
