Archaeology

Medieval holy well.


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 reported the presence of a nearby well, but had no knowledge of its name. It is possible that the well may have been associated with the chapel and burial ground.
