Derbyhaven Stackyard
Archaeology
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 large scale mapping of 1867 records a small field at this location used as a stackyard (Manx, 'haggard'). It would seem likely that the stackyard was used to accommodate straw arising from thrashing undertaken in the building to the south, which was latterly used as a barn and contained a horse-driven mill (see 0139.30).
The enclosure no longer exists.
The grid reference provided indicates the centre of the stackyard as originally recorded by the OS.
