Hango Hill, Historic execution site in Malew, Isle of Man.
The hill features remnants of a 17th-century banquet hall and stands near the coastal road between Castletown and Derbyhaven.
During the Bronze Age, this location served as a burial ground, evidenced by the discovery of a bronze flat axe in the area.
The Norse-derived name 'hanga-haugr' translates to Gallows Hill, reflecting the site's connection to historical judicial practices.
Visitors can reach the site through walking paths that connect to nearby heritage locations and provide views of Castletown Bay.
A black dog without a head, known locally as the Mollagh Wooar, reportedly appears near the hill, particularly visible to other dogs.
