Carnane Breck Burial Cairn

Archaeology

The site of a damaged barrow or cairn.  It has a diameter of 9 metres and height of 1.0 metre. The entire top has been robbed creating a rectangular depression, averaging 0.6 metres deep, revealing a heavy stone content.  Part of the rectangle has been built up with dry stone walling. The site was visited by the Isle of Man Natural History and Antiquarian Society in 1912 when it measured about 11 metres in diameter and about 1.8 metres high. It had certainly been a burial place.
