Archaeology in the Isle of Man

This is the personal site of David J. Radcliffe who has spent some time photographing and recording a range of sites, including neolithic, bronze age and disputed antiquity.

Built into the wall surrounding St Peter's Church in Onchan is a stone pillar which is known locally as the "whipping post". However, its origin is more likely to be that it is the sole survivor of a semi-circle of similar stones associated with a pre-historic burial site.
