In 1089, the island was plundered by Murkertach O'Brien and a large fleet of Danes and Ostmen. The monastery must have been restored during the following centuries as it is mentioned on a number of occasions in various historical works.
In 1620, King James I granted this island as well as portion of the islands and land in the lough to Sir Partick Barnewall but it was again taken from him at a later date due to his connection with the petition grievances in the following reign.
