Cronk y Voddy — Manannán's Chair
Place
Cronk y Voddy is the site of Manannan's Chair (Stoyly Manannan or Manachan), a large eroded rampart in the parish of German, on the Staarvey Road between Lhergydhoo and Knocksharry. Within it stands an earthen mound in the form of a seat, from which the legendary Manannan Mac Lir is said to have dispensed the law; a tradition also held that this mythical king of the Island was buried within.
