White Lady, Glencrutchery

Archaeology

Medieval 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 only indication of the site is the standing stone, which now stands within an area of residential development. No archaeological features or remains were reported at the time of construction work.
