MAGHER-Y-CHIARN, a hill-side field in Kirk-Marown parish, Isle of Man; 4 miles NW by W of Douglas. Five upright stones, from 3 to 5½ feet high, stand here on a stone platform 8½ feet long and 3½ feet broad: and the two tallest are deeply incised with crosses, similar to the ancient British crosses in Wales and Cornwall. The original erections may have been heathen; and the incisions may have been made after the introduction of Christianity. St. Patrick is traditionally said to have ministered on the platform; and the popular name of it is St. Patrick's Chair.
