one of the Scilly islands, lying almost directly west of the land's end in Cornwall, about the distance of 30 miles. It lies between the isles of Micarlos, Guel, Trefcaw, and Samson. It is the roughest and most mountainous of them all, and not many years since there were only two families in it, but now there are 13. There are a few poor houses, called the town of Brehar; and there are several barrows edged with stone, in which they buried considerable persons in ancient times; besides many monuments of the Druids. Some are of opinion, that this with the rest made but one island, which is the reason why so many antiquities are now found in most of them.
