A clay tobacco pipe stem was recovered in October 1988 from topsoil stripped in preparation for residential development in Ordnance Survey Field no. 1633, north of the Promenade, Chapel Bay.


The clay tobacco pipe stem is likely to have been the result of manuring or from the spreading of nightsoil from Port St Mary.


The artefact is in the Manx National Heritage collections, accession no. 1988-0453/2.


The grid reference refers to the centre of the field.
