The Neolithic Period or New Stone Age marked the coming of
new people to the Isle of Man. These people brought with them the knowledge
of farming, better stone tools and even pottery. It was during this period
that Megalithic Monuments began to appear around the island. These massive
stone structures formed burial cairns for important people, such as chieftains,
and their families. Some burial included pottery and flints. Examples from this period can be found at Cashtal yn Ard near Maughold, King Orry's Grave in Laxey, Meayll Circle near Cregneash, and Ballaharra Stones in St Johns. The Megaliths were
not the only culture during this time, there were also the local Ronaldsway
and Bann cultures living on the Isle of Man.
