Ballakilmartin, St Martins Chapel

Archaeology

Medieval lintel graves.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867 marks the site of a chapel and burial ground, with the annotation 'Site of St Martin's Chapel & Burial Ground'.


The Manx Archaeological Survey (1918) suggested that the enclosure then surrounding the chapel could not have accommodated the burial activity known to have taken place around the chapel as agricultural work had disturbed lintel graves and human remains in the neighbouring fields and across the line of the farm track.
