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:
MHK calls for citizen's jury to look into legalising recreational cannabis
Teenager's petition calls for more funding for the Island's music service
Daily closures on section of TT Course this week
Onchan MHK announces intention to stand in election
Charities partnering for coast-to-coast cycling challenge in Scotland
