Ceardach may have been the site of an Iron Age bloomery or furnace for smelting iron ore.[2]
Along with neighbour, Bucinch, the island, was donated to the National Trust for Scotland by Col. Charles L. Spencer of Warmanbie, Dumfries, in 1943.[3]
A large variety of trees and other plants grow on the island, from seeds brought by birds, wind and water. There is a mature if stunted oak tree, willow, holly, briar, and bramble.[2]
