Ballamoar, Keeill Vael
Archaeology
Medieval chapel.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867 shows the location of a chapel and burial ground at this location on Ballamoar farm, together with the annotation, 'Chapel & Burial Ground, Keeill Vael (Ruins of)'. The OS shows the chapel itself, surrounded by a small enclosure.
The site was examined by the Manx Archaeological Survey (1915), at which point no trace of the features recorded by the OS was visible above ground. The Survey records that the site had been levelled in about 1900.
