Archaeology

Medieval burial ground. The site lies in a slight valley and consists of a subrectangular enclosure measuring 27 by 20m surrounded by a substantial bank. The interior of the enclosure is raised to a more level profile than the surround land, which falls eastwards towards a stream gully, and is planted with trees. The site was investigated by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1908.


The limited excavations of the Survey did not identify any Christian burials, but the raised nature of the substantial and well preserved enclosure implies that inhumations are present.
