Derbyhaven Wreck & Assembly Zone

IoM's original principal harbour before Douglas overtook it. Sheltered bay used as fleet assembly point for centuries. King William's College (founded 1833) overlooks the bay. Adjacent to Ronaldsway Neolithic site. WHY: Multi-period site from Neolithic to Victorian. The beach and foreshore produce finds from every era. The old harbour area where ships loaded and unloaded is highest priority. One of IoM's hidden gems — quiet, scenic, and archaeologically rich.
