Archaeology
A mound composed mainly of rock outcrops in which some digging has taken place. It is 4 to 6 metres in diameter and 1.2 metres high. In quarrying to make the wall that passes over the mound, a cinerary urn was exposed. Dr Tellet visited the mound in 1883, which had been cut in half by the workmen, and removed the broken inverted urn, evidently filled with cremated bones. The urn is of the Ronaldsway Neolithic type and its fragments now in Manx Museum.
