King Orry's Grave
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King Orry's Grave is the largest megalithic tomb on the Isle of Man.[1] 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. The modern name likely dates to the early 19th century.[2]
