King Orry's Grave
King Orry's Grave is the largest megalithic tomb on the Isle of Man. It is situated in Minorca, in the northern part of the village of Laxey, partly in a private cottage garden. It is some 4000 to 5000 years old; however the reference to King Orry is to the 11th century local ruler Godred Crovan, who has a number of supposed burial places.
Like Cashtal yn Ard, the structure is a "Clyde Tomb" of coloured sandstone. The eastern part is semi-circular with a diameter of 12 m and a depth of 4 m. The eastern section is a row of three burial chambers. At the western end is a separate cist-like structure, excavated in 1930, with a menhir. As the central section is not extant, it is unclear whether this is part of the same structure.
King Orry's Grave is a Manx National Heritage site.
