Cashtal yn Ard, Neolithic tomb near Maughold, Isle of Man.

The Cashtal yn Ard tomb extends 39 meters in length and contains five stone chambers arranged from west to east with an open forecourt.

Built around 2000 BC, this megalithic structure served as a burial site for Neolithic chieftains and their families during the Bronze Age period.

The excavations in the 1930s revealed 125 white sea pebbles, flint artifacts, and fragments of Neolithic pottery, indicating ceremonial practices of early communities.

Located on the east coast near Cornaa, visitors can reach the site by taking the A2 route from Laxey towards Ramsey and following signs.

The tomb's chambers feature lateral standing stone slabs of varying heights, with the tallest reaching one meter and chambers measuring 1.2 meters in width.
