But the cause of the landslide appears to be unknown
Work to make safe an unstable bank behind a landmark Laxey warehouse is underway, after a significant landslide last month.
Six trees have had to be felled and work to repair a damaged sluice will follow.
The warehouse, previously a film studio, is used by Laxey based Swales Flooring.
Proprietor Phil Swales is also owner of a house on Old Laxey Hill which has lain empty since a landslide there two years ago.
Garff MHK, Andrew Smith, who's funding the current work, says the cause of the landslide, which followed heavy rain is open to conjecture:
Dangerous driver given permission to appeal conviction and sentence
One person injured in bus crash in the south of the Island
Red Arrows to return to Island for TT
Speaker wants 'adequate explanation' before granting health extra £20m
