Hopes for Michael dig this weekend
Archaeologists are hoping to unearth a prehistoric burial mound in the west of the Island.
This Sunday, 2 July, a team headed by Dr Rachel Crellin and Dr Chris Fowler will begin excavating one of three mounds found at Cronk Guckley, outside Kirk Michael.
Of the 160 mounds on the Island, few have been examined using modern techniques - something this team of historians wants to change.
Their project aims to investigate these sites and artifacts, to understand more about Neolithic and Bronze Age life on the Isle of Man.
Dr Crellin told Manx Radio what the team might expect to find:
Manx Care says it is 'doing a lot of work' to tackle concerns raised by doctors
New elective surgical unit will be 'nice controlled environment'
Manx dancer, teacher and festival organiser 'in awe' at RBV win
MNFU calls for ability to trade with UK to be made a priority
