Dub ny Marroo and the Road of the Dead, Bride

Place

Dub ny Marroo ("Pool of the Dead") is located on Lamb Hill along the funeral road (Bayr ny Merroo) from Shellack Point to Kirk Bride in the north of the Isle of Man. When a funeral procession passed this way, the bier was laid down on a stone beside the pool, a prayer was said, and a handful of water was sprinkled on the corpse before the journey continued to the parish church.
