Kerrowmoar
Kerrowmoar (from Manx: The Great Quarterland)[1] is situated adjacent to the 22nd Milestone[ambiguous] on the primary A3 Castletown to Ramsey road, near Sulby in the parish of Lezayre in the Isle of Man.
Following on from Ginger Hall, Kerrowmoar is slightly before the 21st Milestone road-side marker on the 37+ mile circuitous Snaefell Mountain Course, measured from the startline at the TT Grandstand, used for the Isle of Man TT and Manx Grand Prix races.[2]
Kerromoar including Kerrowmoar East was part of the Four Inch Course used for the Tourist Trophy car races held between 1908 and 1922, and part of the Mountain Course used since 1911 for the TT and 1923 for the Manx Grand Prix races.[3]
The Kerrowmoar complex of bends was subjected to road widening and reprofiling during the winter of 1953/1954 by the Highway Board for the 1954 TT races.[4]
