Carnane Breck Burial Cairn
Archaeology
The remains of a damaged Bronze Age cairn. It is an oval feature orientated east-west and measuring 6.0 metres by 4.5 metres. It is defined by ten irregular stones one of which is prostrate. The largest stone is 0.7 metres high with sides of 0.6 metres by 0.3 metres. The tops of the remaining stones generally protrude through the ground surface and it is thought that they define the kerb of a cairn or barrow as indicated by a slight outward lean to some of the stones. This site was visited by an excursion of the Isle of Man Natural History and Antiquarian Society in 1912 when Kermode thought that it marked a mound which had been removed.
