Historical Manx Sites
The earliest inhabitants of the Island have left many traces: the landscape is dotted with the remains of hillforts, burial sites and settlements from the Bronze, Iron and Stone Ages. The most significant of these are
Cashtal Yn Ard (north-east), a Neolithic chambered tomb, and the
Meayll Circle (south), a Megalithic burial site. Stone crosses – used as grave markers and memorials - have also been found in abundance around the Island, with the earliest ones dating back to the 6th Century.
