    Tá oileán ar thráigh na Cruite ar a dtugtar Oileán na gConrach. Tá an tráigh seo idir an Chruit agus beal na Cruite i bParóiste "Teampall Cróin" Iochtarach.
    Tá cuid mhór oileán eile ar an tráigh seo acht tá an ceann seo ar a bhfuil muid ag tracht sgaithte ón cuid eile. Tá sé ar an bhealach direach idir an Chruit agus Ceann Caslach.
    In aimsir an droch-saoghal (1847-48) bhí cuid mhor daoine ag fagháil bháis leis an ocras agus leis an aicid. Bhíodh torramh no beirt gach lá. Ní rabh roilic ar bith thart fán cheanntair seo san am acht Roilic na Cruite. Nuair a bhíodh an torramh ag teacht treasna na tragha leigidhe síos na comhnair ar an oileán seo agus glacadh na daoine sgithiste. Leanadar do'n nos seo agus an deireadh a bhí air gur b'aisteadh "Oilean na gConrach" ar an oilean beag seo agus sin an ainm atá air go dtí an lá bhfuil indiu ann.
