Medieval lintel graves.


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 is no record of where Dr Oliver's finds were made, in the absence of which the grid reference relates to the OS location.


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