BANGOR ISCOED, on this map, shows the probable location of the monastery mentioned by Bede in his account of the massacre of the Bangor monks. Tatlock writes that Bangor was not an uncommon name for a monastery, and that the site of Bede's account was probably a small house in northeast Wales (p. 65) [ban= place, gor = choir: it is easy to see how it came to be that there was more than one Bangor abbey, and in addition to the site in Flintshire, there was, for example, an Irish abbey of that name]. Geoffrey, however, seems to have in mind the see city of BANGOR, so his account of the massacre will be found attached to that city. The town site for modern Bangor-on-Dee/ Bangor-Is-y-Coed includes remarks about the Celtic monastery assumed to be that referred to by Bede.
