Former settlement on the slopes above Laxey in the parish of Lonan.

The name Lhergy Veg was translated by W. Walter Gill as “The Little Slope”. It lay below Eairy Veg, the Little Shealing, and Creg Dhoo, the Dark Rock.

By Gill’s time the house at Lhergy Veg had long been deserted and had fallen into decay. Earlier occupants had included weavers, and Gill noted that architectural traces of their work survived in the building.

Another resident was remembered as both the “Fairy Doctor” and the “Fairy Tailor”. He practised veterinary cures and other forms of folk medicine as well as tailoring, played the fiddle, and was said to produce tunes from the sounds made by the river among the rocks below the house.

Tradition also credited him with remarkable speed. Gill was told that he could set off across the mountains to Douglas for a reel of thread or some other item and return within twenty minutes. Douglas was about ten miles away by road, although Gill dryly calculated it at about eight miles “as the tailor flies”.

The abandoned house also acquired a supernatural story involving two weavers. They saw what appeared to be a pair of enormous figures emerging through the hearth, wearing objects described as resembling horses’ blinkers or bridles at the sides of their heads. The men fled to Agneash for help, but when they returned the house was empty.
