This is the location of a Neolithic to Bronze Age funerary site.  A 'mound of considerable dimensions' with a cist containing pottery and what was probably cremated human bones was first noted by Oswald who referred to an inspection of the site by W. Kermode when it was first ploughed about 1850. By 1880 the mound had been 'considerably reduced'.


It survived as a large grass-covered mound whose slopes flowed gradually without break into the surrounding ground. Its diameter was 40.0 metres and minimum height 2.0 metres.  Despite the finds of prehistoric burials here in the 19th century, the mound was thought itself to be a natural feature.


The mound was excavated in 1968-69 in advance of building development when it was confirmed that it was indeed of natural origin, a glacial moraine, but that it had been utilised as a repository for at least eleven cremations and an inhumation of late Neolithic-Early Bronze Age dating. Finds include two urns of Ronaldsway type, three Early Bronze Age food-vessels, flint flakes and knife, arrowhead and worked stone. 


Taking into consideration the radiocarbon dates, the pottery evidence, the types of burials and the stratigraphical inter-relationships where these are demonstrable, the site appears to be of two periods, Ronaldsway followed by Early Bronze Age. The initial feature appears to be the burning pit, sited just to the south of the summit of the natural mound. Three timber-lined pits were grouped around this pit on the southeast slope of the mound, two containing evidence of cremation. A fourth timber-lined pit with an associated skin-bag cremation was inserted further to the southeast. Three further shallow deposits of cremated remains were found.


The probable etymology of Killeaba or Cor-Ihiabbagh is 'the nook or corner of the tomb' or 'the grove of the tomb'.
