E Beveridge 1903.
A mainly natural rocky island, overgrown with peat and vegetation, which appears to have been artificially enlarged. Nothing is visible on the summit, but around the sides and protruding through the peat, particularly in the S E are many loose stones, possibly part of a collapsed wall but there is no definite evidence for this. There is no causeway.
