Cronk y Clagh Vane Stone Circle

Archaeology

This may be the site of a circle of large white quartz boulders reported by Miss A.M. Crellin in 1888, where worked flints were found on the surface. The flints are kept at the Manx Museum (Accession No. 1985-0296).  The white stones are said to have been been rolled down to the hedge.  No trace of a circle or of any quartz boulders is now found in the area and the name Cronk y Clagh Vane is not known locally.


A polished flint adze was found by Mrs Betty Quayle and Dr W.R. Walsh nearby (at SC 329936; Accession No. 1986-0029).
