Where can I find information about "Western Skeames Island" (sp?)?

I'm told my wife's grandmother was born there, but I can't find any reference to this island off of Cork.

The Skeams consist of two islands, East and West in Roaringwater Bay, West Cork. You can zoom in on the islands on the map at the first site below.
West Skeams is uninhabited and, according to the second site, is owned by Edward de Bono.
Third site: A book about the islands 'Heir Island: its History and People' has a chapter in it on East and West Skeam.
You can see a report on the excavation of the medieval church site on the island which took place in 1990 at the last site.

Try "Skeme island" that sounds more like it. And then google it.

never heard of that island these are the islands i can think of....see if any of them are it:
Widdy Island
Spike Island
Sherkin Island
Garnish Island

Hope this helps but im sure it probably doesnt but when i typed it into wikipedia i got a 100% relevance to Cork archaeological sites:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Sea...
Never know it might help
