Description
The rock-cut tombs located approximately 10 meters west of the Chapel of St Patrick in Heysham are a significant historical site, dating from the Pre-Conquest period. There are six graves carved into the sandstone headland near the chapel. Among these, two are straight-sided while four have a body shape. Each grave features socket-holes that were likely intended for timber crosses. An associated cemetery to the south of the chapel was excavated in the 1970s, revealing bones that were dated to the 10th and 11th centuries. This site is part of a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
