Medieval lintel grave.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867 shows the location of a chapel and burial ground at this location on Skinscoe farm, together with the annotation, 'Site of Chapel & Burial Ground'. The OS shows the enclosure as an earthwork feature, within which the site of the chapel itself is marked.


The Manx Archaeological Survey (1915) states that the site has long been ploughed over. Ploughing activity in 1936 uncovered a single lintel grave at the site, containing a well-preserved adult skeleton. The precise location of the grave was not recorded in detail, so it is not known if it lay within or outside of the line of the enclosure previously delineated.
