The Braaid
Date Added: 16th Jan 2017
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Channel Islands and Isle of Man (Isle of Man)
Visited: Yes
The Braaid submitted by howe on 26th Aug 2010. The site consists of three structures, one circular the others rectangular. Excavated in 1935 and 1962, the circular structure has been suggested as a Bronze Age stone circle, the structure of which was incorporated in a round house, the earliest phase being estimated as Iron Age. It may have been re-modelled when the other structures were built. These consist of a boat-shaped Norse hall and outbuilding, both of which had stones side walls and timber gables.

Boskenna Cross submitted by enkidu41 on 15th Nov 2004. The shot shows the principal face of the cross with its depiction of Christ.

St Buryan (Village) submitted by enkidu41 on 16th Nov 2004. It is possible that this cross may have been adopted as a Market Cross when the parish of St. Buryan was granted a market charter in 1302. The platform is certainly at a focal point of the village.
