The findspot of a Mesolithic flint scatter including Heavy-blade type pieces with some sign of retouch, an unfinished arrowhead, a round-ended blade and a core.
An early prehistoric flint scatter which included fine Neolithic blades, flakes and a pressure-flaked arrowhead. An ovoid granite stone, possibly used as a slingstone, was also found.
A post-medieval corn mill was located in the southernmost part of an outbuilding in the farmstead, the wheel being located on the gable as shown on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 large-scale mapping published in 1870. There is no annotation to indicate the mill within the building, which then, as now, was presumably for the most part used for animals and feed storage.
The same mapping depicts the millpond (parcel 1082, lying in Field No 1112) to the south-east of the farm, with a leat connecting the pond and the mill; two sluices, an overflow and the tail-race are also shown.
The mill was presumably used for processing produce from the farm and animal feed.
The book of remembrance is hand-painted in watercolour by Archibald Knox. The book contains 75 pages which list, in his own script, the names of the old scholars of the Eastern District Secondary School who served in the Great War. Knox painted birds with closed beaks and therefore silent, next to the names of those who lost their life in the conflict. The book is an original and the only one of its kind.
Title page reads as follows: "Douglas / Secondary / School / The roll of / the names / of the old / boys who / served in / the Navy / the Army / the Airforce / and Mercantile Marine / in the time / of the / Great War / 1914-1919." 478 (approx.) names listed alphabetically; First World War. On last page are the words: "and for / remembrance / of whom this / roll is made."
The roll of honour was installed in Douglas Boy's High School in 1931. It is displayed under glass in a wooden mahogany pedestal, commissioned by the firm of J.D. Kelly, Kirk Michael. The box was made by J. Stanley Keig, who had just completed his apprenticeship with J.D. Kelly. There is gilded carving around the box incorporating the words 'Live To Learn To Live'. The book was bound at the Oxford University Binding House.

First World War. Mahogany tablet. Interlaced decorative Celtic style script listing the names of scholars within 4 columns, with incised letters and pattern gilded. Standing out upon the panels of the tablet are two carved figures representing a monk scholar and a Crusader, executed by Mr H. Hemms of Exeter. The memorial was unveiled on 09 October 1924 by Mr George Green, a former master in the school, three of whose five sons were commemorated on the tablet. It was designed by Archibald Knox and the carving was executed by Mr Kelly of Kirk Michael. The gilding was done by Mr Frank Nicholson.

Medieval burial ground. The site was investigated by the Manx Archaeological Survey (1915). Traces of early burials were recorded, and two fragments of carved stone crosses were also recovered.
Medieval carved stone cross.
The site was investigated by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1915, in the course of which Manx Cross 21 was recovered outside of the doorway in the west wall.
Medieval carved stone cross.
The site was investigated by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1915, in the course of which Manx Cross 21a, a fragment bearing a spiral motif, was found inside the chapel near the east gable. The stone is now lost.
A small slab with a linear cross found at East Keeill, now kept in Maughold Cross House (Manx Cross No 21). The cross is inscribed within a rectangle. It measures 38.5 centimetres high x 22.5 centimetres maximum width and 4 centimetres thick.
A slab fragment from Maughold which was inscribed with a C-spiral design. It is now lost. It measures 23 centimetres x 12.5 centimetres x 2.5 centimetres thick.
Medieval chapel and burial ground. The site was investigated by the Manx Archaeological Survey (1915). The structure is orientated ESE-WNW, and measures 6.4 by 3.4m internally, with a doorway in the 'west' gable; the walls are 0.4m high and 0.7m thick. The chapel has been obscured by a later structure and a well, the latter of which was sunk through the south-east corner and appears to have destroyed any trace of an altar. Traces of early burials have been recorded, and two fragments of carved stone crosses were recovered by the Survey.

A single worked prehistoric flint found in the garden of No. 8, Elizabeth Rise, Castletown.
The artefact is a missile head of late Mesolithic (heavy bladed) character, and measures 68mm overall. The artefact is in the Manx National Heritage collections, accession no. 1969-0041.
The grid reference is centred on the garden.
The site of a 19th century lead mine shaft. The 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey maps shows a wheelpit stood at SC44968972 which was connected to the shaft by pumping rods supported on piers. The wheel was powered by a leat which ran through the field numbered as Plot 1584 on the 1870 map. Associated levels are also shown at SC44788969 and SC44808967. Almost no surface remains now survive.
A post-medieval house in Castletown.
The dwelling is shown set within substantial grounds on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 mapping of 1867. The gardens have since been developed for residential use.
The site of a steam-powered mill at Ellerslie which was probably the only one on the island in the early 19th century. The disused mill is shown on the 1958 1:10560 Ordnance Survey map.
