Mount Rule Keeill and Burial Ground
Period: Early Medieval
NGR Easting: 235370
NGR Northing: 479490
Description: Medieval chapel and burial ground. The keeill is orientated approximately NE-SW, and is entered by a doorway through the 'west' gable. It measures 4.2 by 2.2m internally and the turf-capped stone walls survive to a maximum 0.9m above ground level. The site is partially wooded, which prevented full investigation during the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1918; small-scale excavation suggested that the floor is about 0.6m below current ground level. Site & Monument Type: keeill Category: National Monuments Record: Statutory Ancient Monuments Site ID number: 0682.00
