A Viking Age silver Coin Hoard consisting of Hiberno-Norse Coins was found here in 1834. The hoard consists mainly of Phase III Dublin pennies and appears to have been concealed at the end of the 1040s.  It was found in one or more 'small urns' at a place called 'Struan Juneen', in or near old iron workings. The hoard is supposed to have been largely dispersed in England but two of dark-patinated coins survive in the Manx Museum. 


This was one of two distinct and very different Viking Age silver coin hoards unearthed in successive years at Ballaberna and Park Lewellyn. Previously the hoards had been recorded as one find.
