Ballanayre Reservoir Settlement

Archaeology

A concentration of Neolithic Ronaldsway type worked flints has been collected across the fields of Ballanayre Farm. The upper fields, the fields numbered on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map as 221, 496 (PRN 0911.10), 499 (PRN 0911.20), 501 (PRN 0911.40) and 578 (PRN 0911.30) contain a major concentration of Neolithic 'Ronaldsway' material, presumably an extension of the Knocksharry 'camp-site' (PRN 0906.20).


A stone axe was found on the surface of the 'third field' (field 499?), which is now held in the Manx Museum, Accession No. 1971-0210/39.
