His residence on the island was called and later known as Honey Hill, or Honey Farm, which is located just outside the town of Chatteris. Huna was considered a holy man and his grave on the small island was known for producing healing miracles. Later Huna's relics were translated from Chatteris to Thorney, at the time more a collection of hermit cells than a monastic institution. Huna's feast day is 13 February.
