Middle Farm Keeill

Archaeology

This is thought to be the site of an early medieval keeill or chapel, which would have been in use during the period circa AD500 to AD1000.  The site is now a pasture field with no obvious surface evidence of any features.


There appears to be no memory of a keeill on this farm but an early cross-slab (PRN 0706.20) was found here and is said to have come from a keeill at or near to the site. The history of the cross-slab is lost but Kermode was allowed to move it to Braddan Church (circa 1918) with consent of the then owner, Mrs Moffatt. It remains in the church today.
