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:
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Drop-in session to support Isle of Man charities
Fundraiser to keep St John Ambulance emergency fleet on the road
Ayre and Michael MHKs request meeting with commissioners over rates
Data breach impact rises sharply as cyber incidents affect thousands on Isle of Man
