The Round Mounds Project are be putting trowels to soil, starting July 2nd to start their excavation of what they hope to be a prehistoric burial mound at Cronk Guckley, just outside Kirk Michael.
Rachel and Chris write: What do we know about Cronk Guckley – two of the three mounds at Cronk Guckley are shown on the 1860s map of the Isle of Man. P.M.C. Kermode noted in his 1930s catalogue of Manx sites that there were once three mounds on the hill but one of them had disappeared. There are some reports that urns might have been excavated from the site but these are later refuted in the records at the Manx Museum as being falsely associated with the site when really they came from somewhere else nearby.
