Loyal Fort, Round Ellan
Archaeology
"Round Ellan" or "Loyal Fort" is a circular earthwork of unknown purpose and date. It is visible on modern aerial photographs and the present field boundaries respect its present, curving around the outside of its western and southern sides. A rim sherd of poorly glazed micaceous ware, considered to be 'medieval' as been found just inside east margin of the plateau surrounded by the earthwork and are now kept at the Manx Museum (Accession No. 1967-0125).
Stone cists have been reported in the past as being uncovered whilst digging drainage trenches in the field to the east of the enclosure. The authorities given for this information were the Venerable Archdeacon J.C. Moore. M.A., Mr F. Ratcliffe, and Mr D. Quirk, Kirk Andreas.
