Cronk ny Merriu — Wikipedia

Cronk ny Merriu (Manx for 'hill of the dead'), located close to Port Grenaugh, is one of the remains of promontory forts in the Isle of Man. Cronk ny Merriu was previously considered by historians to be a prehistoric burial place due to its large grass-covered bank and name, literally translating to "Hill of the Dead".
