Medieval burial ground.


The Ordnance Survey First Edition 1:2500 map of 1868 records 'Site of Chapel & Burial Ground' with a marker locating the site at SC2000270304. The site lies within a field amalgamated from several smaller plots, two of which (OS Plots 0494 and 0497) were formerly known as Magher y Cabbal (field of the chapel).


The extent of the burial ground was evidentally not apparent to the OS, though Savage recorded that graves had been found, particularly to the north and west of the keeill site. The Manx Archaeological Survey (1968) recorded that the then-occupier described frequently hitting large stones when ploughing near the keeill, but had never opened a grave. An area of about 0.3 acres today (2016) lies unploughed and covered in gorse to the north and east of the keeill site; much of the area is a rocky knoll.
