Ballaquinney Burial Ground
Archaeology
Medieval burial ground. The site consists of an irregular oval enclosure measuring 48 by 39m which traditionally was known as the 'Faerie Orchard'. It was investigated by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1908.
The enclosure is artificially raised, and the surrounding embankment of earth and stones survives to a maximum height of 1.7m on the east side, but is discontinuous elsewhere. The Survey found traces of inhumation during limited excavation.
