Medieval hollowed stone.


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 Manx Archaeological Survey (1918) recorded that the then owner had found a hollowed stone, supposed to have been a font, in the hedge close to the site. The regular field pattern suggests that the site may have been cleared in the 1830s or 1840s, and material incorporated into the new hedge nearby.
