Original examples of Gabhla longhouses, the island's vernacular cottage architecture, can be seen among the newer, renovated houses and among the ruins.

A small lake, Loch Mhachaire na nGall, nestles mid-island in the hollow between the hills. At one time it heaved with wild eels. The lake is surrounded by Implying abandoned farmland and peat bogs, including one small bog on the northeast side with peat as black as coal.

There are five or six freshwater springs or wells around the island. It is from these that the islanders lifted their drinking water.

It is said that a dispute between local warlords Feidhlimi Cam O Baoill and Maol Mhuire an Bhata Bhui Mac Suibhne in the 16th century resulted in Feidhlimi hanging Maol Mhuire's son from a spike - still visible at this stone today.
