These include Boghachan Mòra, Eilean Beag, Sgeireann Leathann, Sgeir nan Sgarbh and the Na Badagan rocks between the island and Ardnave Point on Islay.

However, King and Cotter (2012) suggest that Ardnave Point is from Àird an Naoimh and means "height of the saint"—a much more general ecclesiastical derivation.

There is a ruined chapel immediately to the south of the cross-island chasm and an earthen rampart surrounding it hint at a monastic settlement.

This iyle is half ane myle in lenthe, fair maynland, inhabit and manurit, guid for fishing.

The only remaining substantial evidence of its existence on Islay and environs are a furnace and traces of kilns on Nave Island.
