It Heechsân is not a statistical entity,[2] and the postal authorities have placed it under Eastermar.[1] It Heechsân has place name signs. It was originally called Oostermeer, but from 1847 onwards it was listed as Hoogzand. The hamlet consists of about 100 houses.[3]

The Protestant Church of Eastermar is not located in Eastermar, but in It Heechsân.[4] The old church was torn down in 1868, however the 13th century tower has remained.[3][5] The tower is totally covered in ivy (Hedera helix). A little building for coffins has been built next to the tower.[6] In 1868, a new church was built which is also located in It Heechsân.[6][3]
