The Rhyne Burial Ground

Archaeology

The site of the burial ground of an early medieval keeill or chapel, thought to have been in use during the period circa AD500 to circa AD1000. No traces remain of the keeill as the site has long been ploughed over. A broken slab bearing the beginning of an inscription in runes - 'Thorbjorn raised this cross...' was found in the stackyard wall of Rhyne farm and is now in the Manx Museum (Cross Slab. No 139). Slight evidence for the burial ground enclosure associated with the keeill has been noted, but this too have been almost totally ploughed out.
