Ballacooley Burial Mound

Archaeology

A grass covered ditchless bowl barrow with a diameter of 12.0 metres and average height of 1.1 metres. The top has been slightly disturbed, exposing earth and small stones.  The monument is shown on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map.


An early Bronze Age food vessel was reportedly found during "building operations" in 1963. No other structures or finds were noted in the vicinity, nor was any trace of a mound noted at the time.  The food vessel is kept in the Manx Museum (Accession No. 1964-0012).
