"Seperated from the mainland by a very narrow channel a little to the eastward of the houses of Rockhill,
& forming part of that farm, lies a small but well wooded island called the Priest's Isle. It is
beautifully wooded, & in the centre embowered in trees, and surrounded by a dry stone wall of
considerable thickness, stand the remains of the priest's humble dwelling. It was a thatched house
& built with dry stone, said to have been afterwards occupied for some time by the proprietor."
