Keeill Vian, St Matthews Chapel
Archaeology
Medieval chapel, alleged.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867 marks the site of a chapel and burial ground at this location, together with the annotation 'Site of St Matthew's Chapel (Keeill Vian)'. A marker is placed on the alleged position of the chapel.
The Manx Archaeological Survey (1915) briefly states that a keeill dedicated to St Matthew stood here.
A Royal Commission field inspector noted in 1976 that there were no surface remains of any kind, and expressed the view that the location was a most unlikely one for site of this type.
The site now lies within the garden curtilage of a modern dwelling.
