NB 1456241831. Remains of walling orthostats and paving to possible Chapel. Note: at low spring tides there remains only 10 cms of water in the channel between Cealasaigh and Little Bernera. In Donald MacIver's 1934 book of place names of Lewis and Harris, he gives the following description, "Little Bernera at the beginning of the Norse period was called Kiallasaigh, the islands of cells or Temples, this island was cut in two by the sea, with the smaller portion keeping the original name."
