By this time (1800-1700 BC) the Isle of Man saw people originally from the
continent moving onto the island from Britain. These people brought with
them different pottery and burial customs. These new people also had
metal working skills with bronze, which was replacing stone for weapon making. The large
communal tombs of the Megaliths were replaced with smaller more personal
mounds. Bodies were put in stone lined graves along with ornamental
containers. The Bronze Age burial mounds created long lasting markers about
the countryside. They were respected by the people which followed and still
remain today around the Isle of Man. Sites like Giant's Grave in St Johns, and Meayll Circle near Cregneash are believed to be from the Bronze Age. Whilst the The Braaid may be from that period.
