Jurby Churchyard

Archaeology

Medieval burial mound. The mound is located in the parish churchyard. It has a diameter of 14m, though this is now a little indistinct because of subsequent disturbance, and stands to a height of 2m. Later graves, of mostly 19th century date, have been cut into the mound. Gravedigging at one point revealed a sword, of reputedly Viking Age date, though this was immediately reburied. A second sword has also been found in the graveyard, but its fate is not clear.
