Ballaugh Village Burial Mound

Archaeology

A fragment of a Viking sword consisting of the hilt and part of the blade (0429.10) and an iron spear-head (0429.20) were dug up here in 1824 from a depth of approximately 2 metres deep in gravel in the village of Ballaugh. It is thought probable that the deposit represents a burial in a low barrow.
