Keeill Tynwald (Balladoyne)
Early Christian Keeill & Chapel HIGH Priority
Keeill near Tynwald Hill itself — in the Balladoyne treen of German parish. The proximity to Tynwald (the Viking parliament) is highly significant. This chapel may have served parliamentary gatherings — where lawmakers and attendees worshipped before and after Tynwald proceedings. WHY: A keeill directly serving the Tynwald assembly would have seen an elite clientele — Norse chieftains, bishops, merchants, and officials. Items lost by this wealthy congregation would be of exceptional quality. Fields between this keeill site and Tynwald Hill are PRIME detecting territory.
