Archaeology

A record for a Neolithic Ronaldsway axehead found in Hospital Field by Cowley. Only its front half was polished and it measured 6 1/4 inches by 2 1/4 by 1 3/4.


A Neolithic Ronaldsway type polished stone axehead was reportedly found at Eary Farm in the 1890s, a short distance to the west of Hospital Field, and given to Manx Museum by A W Teare in 1961. This is possibly the axehead from Eairy, Slieau Whallian, Accession No. 1961-0171.
