Alleged prehistoric standing stone, alleged medieval chapel and burial ground.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 marks the site, together with the annotation 'Chapel & Burial Ground (Site of)'.


The Survey's particulars state, 'Well-known in the district as the site of an Ancient Chapel and Burial Ground. The authorities mentioned have frequently seen stone coffins raised, containing a soft matter. The site is marked by a stone, and no vestige of the boundary is visible. Authorities quoted are Mr WH Cubbin, Summerhill; Mr R Killip, Onchan; Mr T Quine, Burnt Mill Hill'.


The Manx Archaeological Survey (1918) subsequently stated that large quartz boulders have given the site the name, 'White Lady', and that graves and traces of cremation had been found, indicating that, as in other instances, the medieval chapel and burial ground had been located on the site of a Bronze Age burial. Kermode (director of the Manx Museum 1922-32) had previously listed the site as pre-Christian, 'Megalithic: stone graves and pottery have been found'.


The standing stone now stands within an area of residential development.
