Ronaldsway Old Burial Ground

Archaeology

On a slight eminence in a field immediately north of the farmhouse at Ronaldsway numerous stone-lined graves containing human remains, have been discovered. About forty years ago (circa 1826) the remains of the fence enclosing the same was removed, now leaving no traces but the levelled mound which can barely be traced. No indications of a chapel having stood there have been discovered. A number of un-orientated and unenclosed burials at a higher level were tentatively associated with the nearby Battle of Ronaldsway, 1275 AD.
