Does anyone know of a diagram of the crescent of this stone structure - and it's date of origin ?

Historic and antiquarian texts on the Isle of Man inc. prehistoric sites, crosses by Andy B on Wednesday, 29 October 2014
(User Info | Send a Message)
This is probably a good place to highlight the huge collection of historic and antiquarian texts featuring the Isle of Man that is the Manx Note Book edited by Frances Coakley.

In the texts can be found references to many prehistoric sites and crosses - apparently 160 of the latter on the island where currently we list just one.
