This Bronze Age barrow was opened in 1866, and ploughed and robbed out between 1870 and 1875.  A cist, urn and flints were found, as well as a bronze axehead, now in the Manx Museum, Accession No. 1954-0805 (possibly an error). Granite boulders taken from the site were broken and built into the tower of the parish church.


It survives as a ditchless, grass-covered, much spread bowl barrow with an approximate diameter of 20.0 metres and average height of 0.2 metres.  It is thought to be the tumulus referred to by Feltham in 1798 as 'a high mound, surrounded by stones'


Confusion exists concerning the exact findspots of 3 axeheads claimed for this site and for PRN 0375.00.  An Early Bronze Age flat axehead was found at Cronk y Vowlan in 1870-5, only the blade portion survives (Manx Museum Accession No. 1954-0795). 


A small-scale emergency excavation by Garrad in 1984-85 revealed Neolithic/Bronze Age burials.
