This appears to be a cover page or title page for a bound volume designated 'Liber SCAC' covering the period 1765-1769.

The first book printed in Manx, published by Bishop Wilson in 1707. Wilson began with the catechism and kept going, book by book, because a people who spoke Manx deserved to pray in Manx. The title means further advice or counsel. Wilson's Manx publications created the literary infrastructure that would survive the Revestment and eventually provide the foundation for the language revival two centuries later.
A stone circle is marked here on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. There are five irregular quartz blocks still in place, forming a circle with an outer diameter of 12.0 metres and situated on top of a small hillock. It is now thought that the stones represent the circle of a ruined cairn or barrow, rather than a stone circle.
The dimensions of the five stones are; 1.7 metres long, 0.9 metres wide, 0.8 metres high; 2.1 metres long, 0.8 metres wide, 0.7 metres high; 1.8 metres long, 1.3 metres wide, 0.5 metres high (possibly fallen over); 1.3 metres long, 0.4 metres wide, 0.4 metres high (possibly fallen over). The fifth stone is largely covered by brambles but its size compares with the others.
At SC 32399332 are two quartz blocks forming gate posts on either side of the lane. The west one is faced to give a rectangular section and resembles a bigger than normal gate post, but the east one is similar in size and form to those of the circle.
Philip Kneen told the Ordnance Survey in 1866 that he remembered more blocks being in the circle and that urns had been found.
