Archaeology

The Neale is perhaps best known for its archaeological interest, as many unusual and unique artefacts and ruins surround the village, dating from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages. These include cairns, stone circles, raths, ringforts, and crannogs.

In The Neale stands a pyramid with 9 stages. It was built by an English settler called John Browne who lived in The Neale. He built it in memory of his brother Thomas who died in Egypt.[citation needed]
