......Around the little headland that marks the western-most point of Le Hocq bay in Jersey is Green Island. This small bay derives its name from the grass-covered rock that sits a little way out, surrounded by water at high tide. All around the island are reminders of past inhabitants dating back to prehistoric times, and Green Island is no exception. This is an important archaeological site as 18 box-like graves (some still with human remains) were discovered on top of this mound dating back to neolithic times.
