Cloven stones
The Cloven Stones ( German for "split stones" ) are a megalithic complex which, like Cashtal yn Ard and the nearby King Orry's Grave, have similarities with Scottish Clyde Tombs . They are located in Baldrine near Douglas on the Isle of Man . The protected Cloven Stones consist of some large upright stones and some smaller stones. The rest of the facility is under the hill that forms the front yard of a house.
Naturally split stones of the same name can be found at Walkerburn and Mungrisdale and elsewhere in England .
