The Ballaqueeney hoard of over forty-three silver coins and coin fragments was found in 1874 during the removal of gravel at the keeill graveyard. There is no reference to a container and the hoard appeared to have been scattered. The coins consisted of Eadred, Eadwig and a few of Eadgar suggesting a deposition date in the 960's, as well as Viking coins that include one of the two Erik Bloodaxe pennies found on Man. A 10th century coin from Melle was also present and is the earliest certain example of the few continental coins known from Manx hoards.
