St Patrick's Chapel, West Nappin
Archaeology
Medieval burial ground. This large, embanked, oval enclosure measures about 40 by 30m and is raised slightly above the surrounding agricultural field. The chapel lies near the centre, and was the focus of investigation by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1911. A small number of graves were found running beneath the east gable and immediately outside, and their presence taken to indicate the existence of an earlier chapel on the site. The rest of the enclosure was not further tested.
