Battle of Santwat
Archaeology
The supposed site of the 'Battle of Santwat' which took place in 1098 AD. It was fought between the north and south Manxmen and is known through documentary sources.
Cowley attempted to locate the battle field at two places pointed out to him. One suggested site was in the Congary Brooghs area (circa SC 249832) and the other, his preferred site, in the field beyond the bridge on the St John's road from Kirk Patrick, on the left, adjoining Ballamoor where the road known as Barnell starts. From Cowley's description this site would be one centred at SC 247822.
