Find from The Rhullick

Archaeology

A large Early Bronze Age flanged flat axehead found prior to 1877 near a field called 'The Rhullick' at Surby before 1877.


The findspot is problematic as both East Surby and Surby Beg are referred to, the locations of which are unknown. It would seem logical to assume that the 'Rhullick' referred to equates to the site of a Medieval chapel and burial ground, which lie in a field known locally as 'The Relick', though this lies on the traditional farmholding of Surby Moar.


The grid reference is centred on the Relick field.


The axehead is in the Manx National Heritage collections, accession no. 1954-0797.
