Kate's Cottage (54.211 N, 4.477 W) is a recognisable landmark on the Mountain Course just beyond Keppel Gate, taking its name from a mountain gate that once stood at the site. Beyond its role as a well-known reference point for riders and commentators, no further verifiable history was found in the sources checked.

Kate's Cottage stands on the Mountain Road near Creg-ny-Baa, close to the 34th Milestone on the famous TT Mountain Course. Built between 1864 and 1866 as a shepherd's cottage on the newly constructed mountain highroad of that period, it takes its name from a former occupant. The stretch of road past the cottage was rebuilt in 1892–93 and modified again in 1922, and the cottage has since become one of the most recognised landmarks on the 37.73-mile TT Mountain Course, used for the Isle of Man TT races since 1911 and the Manx Grand Prix since 1923, with the tight left-hand bend beside it now bearing its name.

Estate or locality in the parish of German, recorded in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century sources as Kennaa. The Commissioners of Inquiry recorded two inhabitants of Kennaa among the subscribers from Kirk German: John Gell and Thomas Quine. The same return placed them alongside residents of Ballaquane, Scarifdale, Knocksarry and other properties within the parish. By the nineteenth century Kennaa was closely associated with the Gell family. John Gell of Kennaa repeatedly appears in the membership lists of the Manx Society and is identified as a member of the House of Keys. The present evidence pack is largely composed of these repeated membership references and does not support a fuller history of the estate without additional targeted research.

Kensington Arts occupies the purpose-built School of Art that opened on Kensington Road in April 1884, home to the Douglas School of Art. The school had a shaky start, with falling student numbers and resignations threatening it with closure within its first year, but a new art master appointed in January 1885 steadied its fortunes and the school went on to grow and be extended. Among its students and later teachers was the Manx Art Nouveau designer Archibald Knox. The school of art moved out in 1970 to a new College of Further Education on the edge of Douglas, and the original Kensington Road building has since continued in cultural use, today known as Kensington Arts, a youth arts centre.

Historic estate and locality in the south of the Isle of Man, in Kirk Christ Rushen. Kentraugh appears prominently in the evidence surrounding the Manx rising of 1651. William Qualtrough of Kentraugh was one of the men accused of organising resistance to the Stanley government before Parliamentary forces took the Island. William Gawne, Captain of Kirk Christ Rushen, later deposed that when he became aware of “a murmeringe” among his company for a rising, William Qualtrough was “the chiefest actor”. According to Gawne, Qualtrough had already assembled the company at the hill of Kentraugh before Gawne arrived from Castletown on Head Court day. The company then marched to Ronaldsway. Gawne stated that Qualtrough advised him to bring them there and also alleged that Comptroller Sharples knew of the rising. Other depositions place Qualtrough within the preparations before the mobilisation. Robert Norris recalled him discussing the likelihood of a rising in the weeks before it occurred, while evidence concerning the circulation of the cross — the traditional summons to assemble — also names him. Kentraugh also marked part of the boundary of the Lord's protected warren around Castle Rushen. An order defining the area ran from the castle to “Kentraugh Burne”, followed that burn inland and continued towards the Santon boundary. Shooting wildfowl and hunting or coursing hares within the circuit were restricted. Later place-lore remembered a Gawne of Kentraugh keeping a pack of harriers. Gill recorded a coastal place where dead hares were said to have been found after being chased over the cliff by the pack.

Kentraugh House and its estate buildings stand off Shore Road near Port St Mary and are registered as a house with associated estate structures. Online research turned up only a Kentraugh level crossing on the Isle of Man Railway's South Line nearby, which is a different feature from the house itself, so no additional verifiable detail about the house could be confirmed.

Kentucky is a state in the south-eastern United States. Manx emigrants and their descendants were among those who moved into Kentucky and other frontier territories during the westward expansion of the United States, following the pattern of migration from the older Eastern Seaboard settlements.

Keppel Gate is a left-hand bend on the A18 Mountain Road around the 33.8-mile mark, taking its name from a mountain gate once at the spot. Another well-known gate stood a short distance further on at Kate's Cottage, the next landmark along the course.

Manx: "the Great Quarterland".

Magnus, the last Norse King of Mann, died in 1265 at Castle Rushen and was buried in the abbey church he had lately caused to be dedicated - understood to mean Rushen Abbey, Ballasalla, though the existing item does not name the abbey explicitly.

King Orry's Grave is the largest megalithic tomb on the Isle of Man, a Neolithic chambered cairn dating to roughly 4,000-5,000 years ago, sited in the Minorca area on the northern edge of Laxey. Despite the name, it has no genuine connection to the Norse King Orry (Godred Crovan); the attribution is folklore layered onto a monument many centuries older than the Norse period. The site survives in two separate sections either side of a road, the result of nineteenth-century road and house building cutting through what was originally one monument: an eastern section with a semicircular, U-shaped forecourt and three burial chambers under a trapezoidal cairn, and a smaller western, cist-like section with a standing stone, excavated in 1930. It is managed by Manx National Heritage, with public access to both sections, one of which lies partly within a private garden.

King William's College was founded in 1833, funded principally by the Bishop Barrow Trust (established in 1668 to provide education on the Island), and opened its doors that August with 46 boys; its chapel followed in 1835. The school takes its name from King William IV, who is said to have offered its founders "my most valuable possession, my name" when asked for financial support. On 14 January 1844 fire destroyed most of the college buildings, including the library and its contents, with only the Vice-Principal's house surviving; the college was rebuilt to a revised design soon after. It remains a co-educational independent school today, occupying its site near Castletown Bay.

This war memorial within the grounds of King William's College is registered as the College's own memorial to its war dead. No further documented history beyond its registration as a Protected Building was found.

Parish in the northern plain of the Isle of Man, in the Sheading of Ayre. Kirk Andreas occupies part of the broad lowland north of the Island. Its parish church is dedicated to St Andrew, preserved in the Manx name Skeeyll Andreays. The church and churchyard contained a notable group of carved stones. Among them is the Sandulf Cross, bearing a runic inscription recording that Sandulf the Swarthy erected the cross in memory of his wife Arinbjorg. The crosses belong to the Norse-Christian sculpture found particularly widely in the northern parishes. The parish also had a close connection with the Archdeaconry of Man. William Mylrea, Archdeacon of the Isle, was rector of Andreas for twenty-seven years and died on 14 September 1787 aged sixty-five. His wife Elinor Mylrea, née Gell, died in 1795. Andreas was dominated by farms and quarterlands. Robertson's list of principal properties includes Ballavodan, belonging to the Duke of Atholl, Gilghagh, Ballavary, Ballachurry, Ballaradcliffe and Ballawhane. At Ballawhane, the family of John Tear were said to have long possessed valuable medicinal preparations which they distributed freely for the relief of the poor. The northern landscape also contained numerous prehistoric burial mounds. One antiquarian account records a barrow in Andreas in which fourteen decayed urns or earthen pots had been found. Two fairs were held at Andreas in December. Robertson noted that some of the Manx fairs remained well attended while others were by then almost neglected.

Parish in the centre-east of the Isle of Man, surrounding much of Douglas and extending inland along the valleys of the Dhoo and Glass. The parish church and churchyard preserve an important collection of carved stones. The Oter Cross at Braddan carries a runic inscription naming Utr, and its ornament was repeatedly compared by nineteenth-century antiquaries with the large Joalf Cross at Kirk Michael and other Manx monuments. Another inscribed fragment was found in Braddan churchyard and published with the Manx Society's studies of runic sculpture. The designs include interlace, triquetra and animal ornament characteristic of the Island's Norse-Christian stones. The parish also contained one of the better-known old bridges. An historical account described the bridge over the dark water at Kirk Braddan as a stately structure. The Dhoo and Glass valleys provided the natural routes from the interior towards Douglas, and the expansion of the town eventually spread deeply into the older rural parish. Braddan retained older beliefs well into the nineteenth century. Joseph Train recorded that in early 1843, near Union Mills, the carcass of an animal believed to have died through witchcraft was burnt by the roadside so that the first person to pass after the fire was lit might be identified as the witch or wizard. The name Braddan was connected by older antiquaries with St Brendan or Brandanus.

Northern parish of the Isle of Man, occupying part of the low ground beyond Andreas towards the Point of Ayre. Robertson’s late eighteenth-century survey records forty-two quarterlands in Kirk Bride. The parish formed part of Ayre Sheading and, like the neighbouring northern parishes, was principally agricultural. Bride supported two annual fairs in Robertson’s list, one in February and another in May. The parish register figures he printed give thirty-seven baptisms, ten marriages and twenty-three burials in 1792; thirty-six baptisms, nine marriages and seventeen burials in 1793; and forty-three baptisms, eighteen marriages and twenty-four burials in 1794. The totals continued to fluctuate during the following two years. The parish church was served in 1798 by the Rev. Thomas Corlett. Robertson noted that Bride had no vicarage house, one of the parishes in which the incumbent lacked a proper clerical residence. Its northern position also placed Bride within the landscape of the Ayre. The parish lay close to the coast and the extensive flat ground around the Point of Ayre, in marked contrast with the mountainous interior further south. The parish retained a substantial body of antiquarian and folklore material, although the present evidence pack is strongest for its eighteenth-century administrative, ecclesiastical and demographic record.

Kirk Christ Lezayre (Holy Trinity) is the parish church near Ramsey, built in 1835 to replace an older hillside church that had fallen into disrepair; the rebuilding was advocated by Bishop William Ward and designed by Welsh architect John Welch, part of a wider 1830s programme of rebuilding Manx parish churches. The church contains a stained-glass window by artist Daniel Cottier, erected 1884 in memory of his father and grandfather, confirming the family's local roots. The parish's monastic connection is more precisely to the Priory of Whithern in Scotland, which held Lezayre's rectory - Furness Abbey's own Manx holdings were the parsonages of Maughold and Michael, not Lezayre.

Parish on the west coast of the Isle of Man, including Peel and St Patrick's Isle. The parish takes its name from St German, whose cathedral stood within Peel Castle on St Patrick's Isle. The cathedral made German one of the principal ecclesiastical districts of the Island and connected the parish directly with the Bishops of Sodor and Man. Peel formed the principal settlement. The River Neb reaches the sea there, beside St Patrick's Isle, while the parish extended inland towards St John's and the central valley. Robertson's description included Peel within German and recorded the roads and river crossings which linked the west-coast town with the rest of the Island. The old cathedral remained the burial place of bishops and rulers after the medieval kingdom had declined. Bishop Simon, who began the cathedral church of St German, was buried there after his death in 1247. The parish also contained numerous smaller ecclesiastical sites and carved stones. Antiquarian writers treated German, Peel Castle and St Patrick's Isle together because the boundaries between parish church, cathedral, fortress and town were closely interwoven. Peel's fishing and harbour economy gave Kirk German a maritime character distinct from many inland parishes. The Neb, harbour and western sea remained the main focus of the settlement, while the eastern part of the parish reached towards Tynwald and the routes across the Island.

Parish in the south of the Isle of Man, containing Castletown, Ballasalla, Ronaldsway and Rushen Abbey. Kirk Malew occupies much of the low ground around Castletown and the Silverburn. The parish church stands inland from the town and contains memorials to several families prominent in Manx political and social history. The parish register preserves unusually important evidence for the seventeenth century. On 31 August 1654 William Kewish and Robert Callow of Kirk Maughold were executed at Hango Hill for murder and afterwards buried at Malew, in the way down from the church porch. The same register records the execution of William Christian, Illiam Dhone. Christian was shot at Hango Hill on 2 January 1663. The entry states that he died penitently and courageously, prayed earnestly and made a speech before his death. He was buried the next day in the chancel of Kirk Malew. The parish also contained Rushen Abbey at Ballasalla. The abbey, its estates and the Silverburn occupied a substantial part of the landscape between the parish church and Castletown. Ronaldsway and Derbyhaven gave Malew a maritime as well as an agricultural character. The sheltered bay served as one of the principal southern anchorages, while Hango Hill and St Michael's Isle formed part of the defensive approaches to Castletown.

Parish on the north-east coast of the Isle of Man, in the sheading of Garff with Lonan. The parish takes its name from Maughold, whose legend is given in the earliest of the Manx Society volumes. He was said to have been a captain of robbers in Ireland who was cast ashore on the Island in a small leathern boat, his hands manacled and bolts on his feet, having undertaken the voyage as a penance. Conindrius and Romulus, the bishops sent by St Patrick, received him. He was afterwards elected bishop by the universal suffrage of the Manx nation, and by whom he was consecrated is uncertain. A Manx ballad printed in 1873 records that he came ashore at the Head and built a church there. The churchyard holds some of the best of the Island's carved stones. At the gate stands a large uninscribed pillar known as St Maughold's Cross, on which the three legs are carved, and which was the reputed sanctuary for criminals. During repairs to the old parish church in the 1850s several further crosses and fragments were found built into the west gable and used as lintels in the chancel, and another was taken from the bell turret. The Cambrian Archaeological Association was shown them in August 1865. St Maughold's Well lies on the north-eastern side of Maughold Head, some 500 feet above the sea. It was resorted to on the first Sunday of harvest, and an earlier account attributes a prolific quality to its water, noting that this had faded since the priests who kept the well were discontinued. The parish held thirty-eight quarterlands of Lord's land. It contained the small freehold Barony of the Hough, of about 420 acres, and the barony formerly belonging to the priory of St Bees, north of the Dhoon river, which was exchanged with the Christian family for lands in Cumberland. The parish register begins in 1611, the earliest date of any in the Island after Malew. Ramsey lies within the parish and was listed separately as Ramsey Chapel. A fair was held at Maughold in August.

Village and parish on the west coast of the Isle of Man, in Michael Sheading. Kirk Michael was the ecclesiastical centre of the parish and lay close to Bishopscourt, the traditional residence of the Bishops of Sodor and Man. An early description records that Bishop Simon died at Kirk Michael in 1247 and associated the district with the bishop's palace. The churchyard became particularly noted for its carved stones. The large Joalf Cross at Kirk Michael was repeatedly used by nineteenth-century antiquaries in studies of Manx runic ornament. Its decoration was compared with the Oter Cross at Braddan and other Scandinavian monuments on the Island. Runic inscriptions from Kirk Michael also supplied evidence for personal names and the Norse language in Mann. The crosses were drawn, rubbed and compared with monuments elsewhere in the British Isles and Scandinavia as antiquarian interest in the Manx stones developed during the nineteenth century. The parish extended from the western coast towards the central hills. Bishopscourt lay within it, and the Bishop's Well in the glen was also known as the Wishing Well. Gill connected it with a well mentioned in a 1677 perambulation of the Michael and Ballaugh parish boundary. Kirk Michael was a local fair centre. Robertson's list records two fairs there in October.

Kitterland (Manx: Famman Kitterland, 'tail of the rocky isle') is a small, uninhabited islet of under 4 hectares lying in the tide-race of the Sound between the Isle of Man and the Calf of Man, now owned by the Manx National Trust. Local legend holds it is named for a Norwegian baron, Kitter, who drowned trying to cross the Sound after his castle on Barrule caught fire while he was out hunting on the Calf. The islet's treacherous currents were confirmed in 1853 when the vessel Lily struck its northern point; the master, his son and three crew were swept away and drowned even as nine others scrambled onto the rocks.

Historic estate in Kirk Patrick, west of Peel. Robertson’s survey of the principal estates of Kirk Patrick listed Knockaloe among properties valued at between about £100 and £300 a year and upwards. In 1798 he identified James Quirk as proprietor of Knockaloe and captain of the parish. James Quirk also appears in Robertson’s list of members of the House of Keys. He entered the Keys in 1795 and was then described as “James Quirk, Esq.; Knockaloe.” The estate was associated earlier with the Radcliffe family. Robertson’s description of Kirk German church recorded an inscription to Captain Sylvester Radcliffe of Knockaloe, buried on 30 December 1731 aged seventy-eight. The Kirk Patrick register later recorded Captain Charles Radcliffe of Knockaloe, buried in March 1783 aged fifty-six. The name also appears in a smaller neighbouring property, which Robertson rendered as Knockaloe and glossed as “little”, belonging to Mr Corrin. In the twentieth century Knockaloe became the site of the large First World War civilian internment camp. The present evidence pack points to several published memoirs dealing with internment there, including Time Stood Still by P. Cohen-Portheim and Round the World to Freedom by P. Stoffa, but those references are bibliographical rather than substantive extracts. A fuller camp description should therefore be based on a targeted evidence pass rather than these index entries alone.
