Yes, Local Island (as it was called when I was a boy) is also known as Manubada (no space or hyphen) which is the Motu name, and means "Big Bird", possibly from the aerial view shape of it...

I found a picture taken on the same spot from a book "Spelningar av det förflutna" 1986 of swedish archeologist Göran Burenhult. I can copy the picture and send it to you.
