Moorhouse Crop Mark

Archaeology

Undated enclosure.


A circular enclosure is sometimes visible as a cropmark on a slight ridge running through Field no 414683 (Isle of Man Government digital mapping, 2016), centred at the grid reference provided.


A small scale test excavation by AM Cubbon (Manx Museum director 1956-84) in the 1970s demonstrated that the cropmark was the result of an artificially created ditch, on the strength of which it was suggested that the enclosure might relate to an Iron Age ringfort of the kind excavated by Dr G Bersu (see PRN 0007, PRN 0008).
