Note(s) : This is the first book ever devoted to the chambered tombs of the Isle of Man and,
though there are no more than nine surviving monuments, they are of considerable interest
and importance because of the central location of the island in the north Irish Sea
where cultural influences and traditions of tomb building are mixed - and no doubt
populations too. These monuments, still impressive reminders of the past in our contemporary
landscape, belong to the early 4th millennium BC when farming, one of the most significant
movers of change in society, first came to the Isle of Man. These vast stone chambers
speak of the power of ancestors, the continuity of family groups and the importance
of the land and territory which sustained them
