"The whole of Kittern Hill which makes up a large part of Gugh Island is a designated Scheduled Monument. Historic England identified it as a place of particular interest in the 1970s because of the concentration of ancient remains found there. These include a number of prehistoric cairns, five entrance graves, an ancient field system and settlements as well as post-mediaeval kelp pits.

Kittern Hill is thought to get its name from the old Cornish for kite’s nest, cyta aern. And as for Gugh itself, Craig Weatherhill suggests that the name was originally Agnes Gue meaning ‘enclosure of St Agnes island’. Lake’s Parochial History of the County of Cornwall records the name of the island as Guew and it is possible this may come from keow meaning hedge or banks."
