The village of Saksun, on the island of Streymoy, is situated on a narrow inlet surrounded by steep cliffs. 

Navigatio Brendani 11.3–5:

Porrō nāvigantibus contrā merīdiānam plāgam eiusdem īnsulae, invēnērunt rīvulum vergentem in mare. ... Erat autem illud flūmen tam lātum sīcut et lātitūdō illīus nāvis.

Work on Magnus Cathedral began c. 1300 and may never have been completed.  It has been suggested that the site was originally settled by Irish monks; the evidence is unclear, but the name of the village. Kirkjubøur, has been thought to contain the Gaelic word for church.
