The Cronk Burial Cairn
Archaeology
Undated cairn.
Two notes on an annotated map recording antiquarian observations retained at the Manx Museum imply the observation of a cairn at this location, and the presumption that it contained a burial.
P.M.C. Kermode (Museum director 1925-32) wrote 'Cronk Cairn' and marked the site, whilst his successor W. Cubbon (director 1932-40) wrote 'Pile of stones "himself is underneath"' (the latter probably quotes a local farmer).
Subsequent Ordnance Survey field workers recorded the site as an alleged feature which was probably natural, as it marks the termination of a low grass covered ridge running N-S.
