Ballacottier Settlement

Archaeology

A small-scale rescue excavation, following the results of field walking by Mr A. Skillan, revealed a Ronaldsway rubbish dump. The material had accumulated in shallow hollows of bared soil and included worked and waste flints, utilised stones, pottery sherds and charcoal. Excavations in two areas produced a small, asymmetrical adze, lozenge-shaped arrowheads, saw blades and sherds from at least twenty five Ronaldsway style pots, including a few sherds from large storage jars.
