The site of a Viking burial mound totally excavated by Bersu in 1946. A coffin burial of the late 9th century was found, with grave goods comprising a knife, broken sword, one spear inside the coffin, two on top, and a shield laid to the side of the coffin. A mound was built over the burial pit and the body of a sacrificed woman placed on the top, and the whole covered with earth. 


The Viking burial partly overlaid a cremation cemetery of the Neolithic Ronaldsway culture. At least ten deposits of densely compacted bones were uncovered, and probably many more had been destroyed by farming in the surrounding area. One cremation was in the broken remains of an urn of Ronaldsway type, and remains of a large round-based Ronaldsway-type urn were also found. A number of shallow circular or oval hollows were found, containing charcoal, soot and ashes with fragments of cremated bones. They were regarded as 'ustrinae', holes beneath funeral pyres from which cremated bones were recovered. 


A number of post-holes and a foundation-trench of uncertain, pre-Viking date were also found. They may have been associated with the cemetery. No trace remains of the mound and the site is grass covered and has been latterly used as a general refuse dumping ground.
