Kirk Michael
Viking & Norse Heritage Site HIGH Priority
WHY: Houses some of the FINEST Viking-era carved crosses on IoM, including crosses with RUNIC INSCRIPTIONS naming Norse chiefs. This was a Norse power centre and medieval market crossroads. The nearby Bishop's Court was the Bishop of Sodor and Man's residence for centuries. Fields around the village, where old trackways converge, are highest priority for detecting. Norse political importance + medieval market function = centuries of concentrated activity and lost items.
