Cornaa Valley, Cronk Eary, Lien Eayst Shieling Mounds

Archaeology

A group of shieling settlements found along the Cornaa Valley, Maughold. At least thirty-two shieling mounds are situated in the valley, which probably should be considered to belong to a single shieling.


This example is heavily overgrown with ferns. It consists of a slightly curved sloping wall built on the side of a hill which falls to the south and appears to be the retaining wall of a mound built up to a level platform about 5.0 metres across. It is possibly rectilinear and perhaps a hut site. This group of features appear to be similar to the hut or shieling mounds at Block Eary.
