Ballacross Burial Cist

Archaeology

Neolithic or Bronze Age burial cists and pottery were discovered here when the site was ploughed by the owner J.G. Moore. The site was examined by Canon Kewley on behalf of the Manx Archaeological Survey Committee and a Neolithic Ronaldsway vessel was identified. Kermode referred to the find-spot as 'a field about 166 yards NW of house'. The pottery appears to have been a single round-headed 'cinerary urn of Clark's 'Ultimate Bronze Age' culture re-classified as Ronaldsway. It is kept at the Manx Museum, Accession No. 1954-0568.
