It is roughly circular with a diameter of about {{convert|1210|ft}}[1] and an area of {{convert|21.5|acre}}.[2] HistoryThe name Middleholm was documented in 1325 in the reign of Edward III, when ferreters were paid for catching rabbits. The island has been in use for considerably longer, with traces of iron age walling, and may have been used for summer grazing, despite the lack of natural fresh water.[2] Since 1966, when the rabbit population was killed by myxomatosis, the island has been ungrazed.[3] The name Midland Isle has been used at least as far back as 1833, when it was cited in Lewis's A Topographical Dictionary of Wales.[4] Modern Ordnance Survey maps use the latter name.[5] GeographyGeologyThe island was formed from volcanic rock.[6] WildlifeThe island is known for its seabirds, including Manx shearwaters and Atlantic puffins, and for its plants, including red fescue, sea beet and common tree-mallow.[7] OwnershipThe island is owned and run by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales. It is not normally open to the public.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/308817/details/midland-isle-or-middleholm-skomer-settlement-and-field-boundary|title=MIDLAND ISLE OR MIDDLEHOLM, SKOMER, SETTLEMENT AND FIELD BOUNDARY|publisher=Coflein|accessdate=30 November 2018}} 2. ^1 {{cite journal|work=Nature in Wales|author=Lockley, R.
