Cronk Breck Cross Slab
Archaeology
A fragment of a Manx slate slab with an incised cross on one face was found here in 1978. It measures 16 inches by 8 inches, by 3/4 of an inch. The slab is now kept at the Manx Museum. The find spot lies close to the former keeill and burial ground of Cronkbreck (also recorded as 'Gneba'), about a quarter of a mile west of Greeba Mill in German parish. The List of Manx Antiquities (1930) notes that local tradition placed the site of an (unspecified) cross about 130 yards WNW of that keeill, beside the old farm road - it is not established whether this is the same cross referenced by that tradition or a separate find.
