There have believes that the monastery was made sometime in the 7th century , and the monastic life existed there for long 600 years. The main reason for leaving the island is looking at its inaccessibility, which in the fact that what we have left the monks for centuries remained intact and unchanged. The name of the island is Irish and means rock Michael. The rock which rises on the island is 230m high. That is why many people are discouraged to go to visit, but it certainly helps this old building to remain preserved.
