Cabbal Druiaght
Medieval chapel and burial ground. The chapel is orientated east-west, and measures internally 4 by 2.5m, with walls standing 0.8m high and 1.1m thick, capped with turf. It was investigated by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1908, and was found to have a paved floor, with a slightly raised aisle leading from the door in the west gable to the altar against the east. Only slight remains of the altar survive, 1.2m wide by 0.75m deep, standing just 0.2m high. The building is surrounded by a bank of collapsed masonry about 1m wide.
The chapel is railed off and the immediately surrounding area is slightly raised. The Survey recorded the surrounding enclosure as being 24m in diameter, with an enclosure boundary 2-3m wide, and noted the discovery of graves about 14m from the north-west corner of the chapel under the farm lane. The enclosure is today far less distinct. Traces of burial were noted inside the chapel.
