Keeill Catreeney, St Catherine's Chapel

Archaeology

The Manx Archaeological Survey (1968) records that the keeill once stood just to the south of St Catherine's Well (PRN 0027). It suggests that the site may have become significant as the original landplace of an early Christian missionary. The remains of the keeill had already disappeared by the mid 19th century when early antiquaries described the site. The Survey however draws attention to the existence in the mid 19th century of a sketch of the chapel of unknown date, although all subsequent attempts to relocate the picture have failed.


There are no known records or traditions of burials associated with the keeill.


The site of the keeill is now built occupied by a road and footpath.
