The so called "Giant's Grave" is located along the road to Ballig, close to Tynwald Hill in the village of St Johns. The Bronze Age grave dates from around 1000 BC. The burial cist was once covered by a circular mound, now exposed on one side, due to a road which has cut through the site. Most of the monument remains covered by a raised ground bank. The site was restored in 1954.
