Onchan Burial Ground

Archaeology

Medieval burial ground.


Six lintel-graves were uncovered during residential construction work, and were examined by AM Cubbon (director of the Manx Museum 1957-84) under rescue conditions.


The findspot was recorded as Ballachurry Park, but a more precise address was not indicated. A summary report in Medieval Archaeology gives a grid reference of SC394784, which must be for indicative purposes only. The grid reference here provided refers to the entrance to Ballachurry Avenue.


There were no finds apart from fragmentary human bones which were placed in the Manx National Heritage collections in May 1971, accession no. 1971-0272.
