An Iron Age settlement discovered at Ronaldsway. The earliest structures were six circular stone-based huts and remnants of others, averaging about 20 foot diameter, in some cases rebuilding appeared to have altered the original plan. The hearths were a small platform or semi-circular enclosure against the wall. Almost in the centre of the largest hut was a beehive-shaped oven built of stone and clay. The associated finds including bone pins, spindle whorls, bronze and iron implements and jet armlets were considered to date from the Roman occupation of Britain, therefore Manx Iron Age. A kitchen midden of limpet and whelk shells, bird and animal bone and broken cooking pots and storage jars was associated with the huts.
