Glen Vine
Archaeology
Undated alleged earthwork mound.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 shows an area of rough ground partially surrounded by drainage ditches. The site attracted suspicions that it might be an archaeological feature.
Dr LS Garrad (Manx Museum 1964-96) pointed out that the presence of gooseberry and rose bushes suggested the presence of a domestic building in the modern period, despite it not surviving to be recorded by the OS.
The site is now landscaped and incorporated into a residential development, but no finds were reported in the course of the work.
