Staarvey Burial

Archaeology

A Bronze Age burial cist with two compartments was found in OS Field no.1385 (see the 1869 1:2500 scale OS map). The cist was excavated by Megaw in 1947.


A Bronze Age collared urn with a decorated collar, of Longworth Secondary Series, NW Style, Form I/II, and standing 44cm high, was found inverted over a cremation in one of the two compartments of the cist.


The second compartment held the remains of a second urn, mainly the lower portions and a few sherds with incised lattice pattern. The collared urn is held at the Manx Museum (Accession No 7247).
