There is evidence of peat cutting in the past on the island and some rabbit holes, although I didn't see any rabbits. There were a few cow pats on the island, so it is obviously occasionally visited by roaming cattle, although there were none on the island when I was there.
I identified the following plants growing on Roeillaun: primroses, bracken, cotton grass, tormentil, heather, silverweed, sandwort, thrift, daisies, buttercups, bird's-foot trefoil and celandines.
