The most isolated of all Manx keeills which stands on a small platform on the steep western sloapes near to the foot of Cronk Ny Arrey Laa. The original boundaries of the burial ground are almost perfect and just outside the foundation of the priest’s cell. Several cross slabs and many lintel graves have also been discovered here. The name Lag Ny Keeilley means “The hollow of the chapel” Feel free to make any comments either on this website by clicking the “Write comment” below or by logging onto my Facebook Page enjoy – Click on the image for a larger view.
Formerly miners cottages, when I was there today I counted 7 front door entrances but there could have possibly been an other one at an adjacent building!? The stepped back image of the tholtan with 3 upper windows appears to have been the home of a more senior mining employee.

Hauntingly Beautiful This house always catches my eye whenever I drive past, and some research shows that this house was used as one of the film sets for the 2002 TV movie, Hound of the Baskervilles.

I kid you not but these goats are rather partial to a bit of tree bark now and then 🙂 This small herd of Golden Guernsey Goats live on the Patrick Road in St John’s, I am sure the big one has a single horn in the middle of his head!

This mine was worked circa 1832 to 1881 by the Isle of Man Mining Company, usually in conjunction with the more extensive Beckwith Mine situated 2/3 of a mile West and it exploited part of a vein of lead ore which was temporarily very productive . There were two shafts approximately 240’ apart, the engine shaft and the Whim shaft – So called because it was originally worked with a horse gin or whim.

These Manx thatched cottages which overlooks the quaint Niarbyl Bay are probably more famous as the cottages used for the 1998 film Waking Ned Devine – The left hand cottage was the cottage where Ned Devine died after winning the Irish Lottery 🙂 This image was captured on my Fuji X10 camera resized and cropped in Adobe Photoshop CS5 Feel free to make any comments either on this website by clicking the “Write comment” below or by logging onto my Facebook page www.facebook.com/manxscenes Click on the image for a larger view.
