Medieval lintel graves.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 shows the site of a chapel and burial ground at this location, together with the annotation, 'Chapel & Burial Ground (Site of)'. A marker is placed on the site, which lies in an open field a little to the north of a field boundary.


The OS particulars state 'In the field situated immediately NE of the house is pointed out the site of an ancient Chapel and Burial Ground. A few years ago several Kist-vaens containing human remains were discovered.' Authorities quoted: Mr Clucas, Strang; Mr Kelly, Castleward; Oswald's Vestigia'.


The Manx Archaeological Survey (1918) recorded that the then owner never recalled seeing any graves at the site during the 40 years that he had lived there, despite the field being frequently ploughed.
