Smeale Burial Mound

Archaeology

The site of a Bronze Age barrow which was examined in 1928 and produced a broken cinerary urn which is now kept in the Manx Museum. It is a grass and gorse covered mound partly destroyed in the north by a road cutting and with a sheer retaining wall 1.4 m high in the east and south.  The barrow mound has a maximum height of 3.1 metres and is 14.0 metres north to south by 9.0 metres east to west.  Mr E. Martin, a previous owner, provided information that when the highroad at this point was lowered, an urn with bones and ashes was found and reburied.
