Medieval burial ground.


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 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. A Royal Commission inspection in 1976 noted that a curvilinear length of nearby field boundary probably preserved an indication of the former line of the burial ground enclosure.


There is no record of graves having been found.
