It hath an high mountain, with some arable ground towards the N.E. end: five or six families reside on it, who pay tithes to a very distant parish called Ballinvohir. The inhabitants are strong, lusty and healthy, and, what is very surprising, neither man, woman or child, died on it for the space of forty five years before I was there, although several persons, who, during that period, came over to the main land, fell sick and died out of the island, almost in sight of their usual abode\u2026.On this island are the ruins of a very ancient church.

It is likely that modern settlement was centred initially on the lower half of the village and progressed uphill. The 1842 edition of the Ordnance Survey’s six-inch map shows two parallel terraces of three houses (since rebuilt) in this area, close to the small headland of Rinn an Chaisle\u00e1in which overlooks the harbour…
\n…The village is sited on a hill slope at the eastern end of the Great Blasket Island, at a point nearest the mainland. Buildings are grouped in clusters, terraced in some of the oldest parts, and otherwise running parallel to one another. There is a distance of some 200 metres from the lower end of the Lower Village to the highest sited building in the Upper Village, a climb of fifty metres. The village extends about 300 metres along the side of the hill, the slope of the hill decreasing as it approaches the sea, ending abruptly in 20-30m high cliffs. As was the practice on the mainland, the site was chosen primarily for the shelter the hill-slope offered, and the older, vernacular buildings, all of the orientated NE\/SW) are set into the slope at right angles to the contours. The front of these buildings, therefore, face towards the south, another characteristic of vernacular building in the district.<\/p>\n
