Time Team S14-E01 Finds in the Fairway, Isle of Man

The Isle of Man may be a small and - particularly when Time Team was there - wet and windy island stuck in the middle of the Irish Sea. But it's crammed full of influences from British, Irish and even Viking incomers. In fact, it's been a cultural crossroads for thousands of years, including a time when Christianity vied with Norse paganism to be the island's principal religion.
One of the legacies of this battle for dominance were the keeills - small, simple chapels that were once found scattered right across the island. Yet today, every single one of these ancient monuments has been destroyed by agriculture, built over by later medieval churches, or dug often very badly by antiquarians.
All, that is, except one which has lain protected beneath the seventh fairway of the Mount Murray golf course, marked only by a patch of unkempt grass and a single standing stone atop a small mound. Time Team was given the unique opportunity to excavate the only known untouched keeill remaining on the Isle of Man.

The subject of my doctoral thesis, the 1st Duke of Atholl, Lord John Murray, 1660 - 1724, at the University of Aberdeen, passed on the title of 'the King of the Isle of Man' to his son through his maternal grandparents, Lord and Lady Stanley - the Earls of Derby, which I found absolutely fascinating. Also, my step-father, a Garrett, was originally from Chicken Rock on the Isle of Man - a fact I tease him about sometimes. ^_^ - Chicken Rock - what a name!

I wonder why posters on these documentaries are so rude? It's such a great video, I wish people would stick to the subject and leave each other's opinions alone. A couple of points: I watched Bridget carefully. I don' t think her hair actually touched the skeleton. Whoever noticed that, you have good eyes. I never noticed how close she was to the burial. 2) The word Ogham can legitimately be pronounced with the hard g. The dating of the site was to the Christianized Viking era, which would mean that Ogham script was not pagan. The tentative translation of the Ogham was "corner, fifty, group." The final explanation is very nice and I hope they are right, that an ancient burial site was reused through multiple phases, preserving its sanctity.

@@wbrewer5352 The translation is wrong and it's no "practicing". The correct translation is _... son of the tribe of Catiall_ (the name seems to be lost). Just look out for the BabelStone Blog and there for "A Throng of Fifty Warriors Routed by a Single Scholar : An Exercise in Ogham Decipherment". The article also contained a fine explanation of Ogham inscriptions.

@@Jigger2361 There may be some interest, as the show's main goal, I felt, was to get communities off their couches and into their backyards to have a go at doing test pits. I think it just got too expensive to do, as well as the fact that the idiots running things mucked about with the people. We liked the people, we enjoyed the work, the way all sorts of folks pitched in and had a look round England. I'm 56, and have loved archeology all my life. Even took a BA in Classical Studies at uni. But I never got a chance to use it. I found Time Team on YT one day and just about fizzled with delight. I had found a home! I hope you read this.

The team mentions the passage from the late 13th century Völsunga saga "Then Sigurd went his ways and roasted it on a rod; and when the blood bubbled out he laid his finger thereon to essay it, if it were fully done; and then he set his finger in his mouth, and lo, when the heart-blood of the worm touched his tongue, straightway he knew the voice of all fowls ... ." Which appears on several carved stones: at Ripon and Kirby Hill, North Yorkshire, at York and at Halton, Lancashire. Yet through ignorance or avoiding clouding the issue, they fail to draw a comparsion with the earlier Gaelic tale of Finn mac Cumhaill and the Salmon of Knowledge. And the later Brythonic story of how the poet Taliesin received his wisdom.

Good finds in this episode. As to whether its okay to graves, it's nothing new. Many cultures will rob graves for profit not for learning. Cemeteries have their sanctification lifted all the time. It will be a constant clash of feelings and cultures. Sometimes museums are forced to give up remains they had for years. The native Americans are a prime example of this happening. Curiously at times asking for remains that technically their tribe might have wiped out. But now they are needing thing put back because again technically when they were removed from reservations archaeologists stole them from another sovereign nation. It is a very complex science and not in just finding and digging.

*33lex55* I doubt the golf club actually believed that it was a cemetery though I doubt that would have stopped them. However it's no longer consecrated ground as that would certainly have protected the burial area.

Fantastic episode! Location and Information Re: Prehistoric Burial Site, found on Golf Course. From Wikipedia: Mount Murray, Isle of Man > Landscape and archaeology of The Graveyard, the fifth fairway of the Mount Murray golf course, is on the site of a prehistoric burial ground. The burial ground became the site of a keeill built sometime after the 9th century, and the area later became known as Speke Farm. The first mention of the keeill at Speke, is on a Mount Murray Estate map (1800) which shows a small rectangular east-west aligned building in an enclosure marked as ‘old chapel’.
