Human remains have been found near to Ronaldsway Airport.

Two incomplete adult skeletons were uncovered during archaeological fieldwork at Creggans Hill on December 11th.

They're yet to be studied scientifically but it's believed they are historical and date back to medieval times or even earlier.

Under Manx law the remains are now archaeological objects and have been excavated, removed from the site and transferred into the custody of Manx National Heritage.

The Coroner of Inquests has been informed - police have also confirmed they have no further interest in the case.
