Isle of Mann Tumuli
HAD recently received an enquiry about whether we have any project activity in the Isle of Mann – an area we have yet to reach.
It seems the noth west coast of the island has many tumuli (burial mounds) in close proximity and yet these are not well known. Moreover, the Manx Museum displays ancient pagan human remains from the west of the island.
Clearly the island deserves our interest and support.
Inspired and motivated to do something positive to show respect for the ancestors, local OBOD member Billy Dickinson composed this poem….
Bones
Here lay your bones
Oh Ancient Ones!
But where are you now ?
Shapers of this land.
Here lay your bones
Under stone and sand
So carefully placed
In bosoms of this land
Here lay your bones
So raise yourselves to Summer Realms !
That you might return
To this sacred land.
Sheeain
