TheDruid-3X3 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Fastyr Mie to All: I was scanning across IoM on Google Earth. I was searching the road that goes from Peel to Douglas for a certain landmark I recall seeing from the Bus I was riding on when I came upon a site called 'The Ballaharra Stones'. I did a Google and found the following info URL on the Stones: https://www.iomguide.com/ballaharrastones.php Does anyone else have any further Fascinating Information about the Stones? It seemed to have been a Sand Pit Quarry that was doing their digging when they happened on the Stones. According to the Link I found, the Sandpit Company donated the site to the German Parish Commissioners. 3X3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDruid-3X3 Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 When I was Googling for more information on the Stones, I came upon a Link of Tanya's Gardening Website about not only the Ballahara Stones but 11 others: https://lovelygreens.com/ancient-neolithic-sites-isle-of-man/ Looks like Tanya is not just an expert on IoM Allotment Gardening. 3X3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDruid-3X3 Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 When I posted this information onto the Social Dot Forums of the Druid Network, one of their Members posted a Link that shows all the Megaliths of the UK that is quite fascinating: https://www.megalithic.co.uk/asb_mapsquare.php It is from that which I learned of the Story of the Chibbyr Roney Well: https://www.megalithic.co.uk/asb_mapsquare.php When I did manage to find it, its location is no where near where the Drawn Map indicates. 3X3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDruid-3X3 Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 It is one of those Neolithic Structures that is so Old that it is now Unknown how the Stones got to where they are. Stonehenge is similarly Old and no one knows for certain how those Stones got to where they are too. 3X3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDruid-3X3 Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Here is a Megalith Portal Link that is quite Fascinating: https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=1132 MEAYLL Circle, pronounced "Mull" on the isle of Man, is found on the little road to Port Erin out of Cregneish museum-village, unsignposted but only just out of sight up the hill to the right. It is about 17 paces diameter circle on a flat area just off the brow of the hill, at the top of which is a neolithic hut-village. 3X3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do though. Nothing esoteric or wondrous about it. We used to assume the people of that age were one up from our neanderthal cousins but we now know they were resourceful and industrious when it came to the construction of that monument and others around Britain and Europe.

Some of the stuff in Orkney is incredible. I know some pretty talented stone masons and they couldn't build like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Is Meayll circle thought to be older than Stonehenge? Thought I read it somewhere. I like the idea that some of the blue stones were floated down the coast on rafts from Wales. Suggestions were that a temporary canal was dug to carry them further inland to get nearer the site, like the Egyptian's did with the quarried stones. I love all that stuff. I can imagine them high as kites on psilocybin and agaric watching the solstice unfold with wholly dilated pupils, off their heads, hallucinating and chanting some weird shit in unison.

Stonehenge is similarly Old and no one knows for certain how those Stones got to where they are too. 3X3 The Stones were found in the Ballahara Sandpit. Two were damaged. The others were dug out and moved to where they now stand by Corlett’s ( who own and run the sandpit ). And that’s in my memory. You asked how the stones got to where they are. You linked to an article. The tomb had six large stones set above ground level. Two of these stones had been crushed but the four remaining were donated by the owners of the Ballaharra Sandpit to German Parish Commissioners, who erected the stones in St. John's near Tynwald Hill. Corlett’s didn’t give the sandpit to the Commisioners, it’s still being operated as a sandpit. It gave the stones, which were moved and re-erected where you saw them.
