Archaeology
Medieval chapel and burial ground. The site comprises an elliptical grass covered mound with a fairly uneven top raised an average of 1m above the surrounding ground. The site was investigated by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1917. The Survey found that the chapel was orientated almost east-west, and measured 8.5 by 3.7m internally. The doorway was in the west wall, and an altar survived at the east end.
The chapel stands within an oval enclosure measuring about 45m from north to south and 25m from east to west.
