Medieval burial ground.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 shows a chapel and burial ground at this location on Ballaquirk, together with the annotation, 'Site of Chapel & Burial Ground'.


The OS particulars stated 'In a field situated a short distance W of Farmhill Cottage is the well-known site of an Ancient Chapel and Burial Ground; the remains of the chapel were removed a few years ago while improving the field. A few weeks ago Dr Oliver, of Douglas, turned up three stone-lined graves containing human skeletons. Authorities quoted are: Mr Piggott, Farmhill Cottage; Dr Oliver, Douglas; Mr Quine.'


The Manx Archaeological Survey (1918) described it as 'long ago ploughed over.'


There is no sign of a burial ground enclosure, but the arrangement of the nearby field boundaries suggest that they may have been positioned in deference to a site at this location.


There are no obvious above-ground remains on the site today.
