'Evidence of layers of past occupation – ancient, old – and more recent remains. "Villages" and once thatched townships and even more recent buildings showing evidence of limited occupation near to present day. Martin Martin wrote that ‘the burial place near the houses is called the Monks Fields, for all the monks that died in the islands that lie northward from Eigg were buried in this little plot, each grave hath a stone at both ends, some of which are three and others four foot high.’ Wonderful storm beach with old fank (built out of beach boulders) beside the lochside – on west side of the island. Fank used adjacent loch for water supply, storm beach stones and driftwood for walls and structure. When the mood takes it the Atlantic breaks over the boulders of the ridge of the storm beach flooding into the waters of Loch Mor. Population peaked at 152 in 1891. The island was evacuated by request in 1923 – but one family remained and by 1931 the population was eight – by the early 1960s the population had declined to five. The island has been uninhabited since the late 1960s. Remarkable for its relatively small size to have remained inhabited so long.'
