Gazing across the landscape, can you imagine a time before paved roads, when ancient chieftains gathered at Ballanorris, Round Table? Ballanorris, Round Table isn’t actually a table. It’s a tumulus, a mound of earth and stones. It sits on the boundary between Arbory and Malew. Its Manx name is Boayrd runt, further hinting at its circular shape. Now, picture this: it’s the year 1511. John Norres holds the land at Ballanorris. This was part of the larger Treen of Bemaccan. Over the centuries, the name evolved. By 1703, Henry Norris resided there. The area now represents the quarterland of Bemaccan. But let’s go back to the Round Table itself. Imagine chieftains meeting there, discussing important matters, perhaps even settling disputes. Did they look out at the same rolling hills we see today? Perhaps they celebrated victories with feasts and storytelling, the echoes of their laughter lost to time. Ballanorris, Round Table stands as a silent witness to generations past. It whispers tales of a time long ago, inviting us to connect with the history beneath our feet.
