The findspot of a Late Bronze Age hoard found in 1936 in ploughing the east corner of 'Abbeylands Intack' about 270 metres east-southeast of Close Lake Farmhouse. The finds included a looped palstave axe with plain faces and high flanges (Manx Museum, Accession No. 1954-3621) and a looped and socketed axehead with slender body, expanded blade and multiple mouth moulding (Manx Museum Accession No 3622). The objects were found within a few metres of each other and another axehead which is now lost.
