The conjectured site of a Bronze Age barrow, proposed by William Cubbon. The site was later discounted and thought to be a natural hillock. No surface evidence of a barrow has been noted here.
Faaie ny Cabbal, or the Chapel Close, south of the highroad and behind Ballaugh village is still remembered as the site of an early medieval chapel or keeill and burial ground. It would have been in use between approximately AD500 and AD1000.
The ruins evidently existed in 1826 when a Mr Radcliffe gave the measurements of the chapel as "6 yards long by 4 yards broad." The site is marked on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map but in modern times a house has been built here and there is no trace of either the chapel or its burial ground.
The site of an early medieval keeill or chapel which is thought to have been in use between circa AD500 and AD1000. It was found in the garden of the farm. A stone slab measuring 1.37 metres long by 0.36 metres wide but only 5 to 7.5 centimetres deep, was noted which was thought to have come from a lintel grave.
This is thought to have been an early type of keeill, probably dedicated to St Mark. It was excavated by P.M.C. Kermode in 1910-11. Only a portion of a single section of the inner facing of the north wall remained, but the original dimensions were estimated as at least 5.3 metres long and about 3.3 metres wide.
Nearby to the west, at a slightly lower level, several undisturbed lintel graves were found. A pathway of flat, water-worn stones, extending for about 2.75 metres, was found level with the base of these graves.
A broken cross-slab from the keeill was inscribed with a Celtic cross and circle within a rectangular panel (PRN 0402.20). The slab was also decorated with bird's heads, crosslets and animals and several names, the letters of which indicated a 7th or early 8th century date.
Falcon Cliff Terrace consists of a row of four terraced properties which are slate roofed, with rough cast cement over masonry walls all round. The wooden windows are of large rectangular proportion, with modular treatment of opening sizes including dormers in roof. Entrances are emphasised by flat roofed porches extending to adjacent bay window. Stairs are expressed in the facade elevation which relies entirely on solid/void relationships for visual impact, having no decorative features as such. No interior inspections have been made. Although the building visually appear to be in reasonable repair there is evidence that deterioration could occur. In such instances the occupants would not be likely to have the resources or the 'group responsibility' to expend the extra money that might be required to perform repairs 'in the spirit of preservation. The design, by an internationally renowned architect, is significant in providing a solution for terrace housing which is well ahead of its time.
Falklands conflict. Wooden plaque. Seat was originally wooden bench but has been replaced by concrete ended bench. Plaque has been replaced hence mistake in the date.

The findspot of a large urn filled with 'black stuff' was found about 1896, on the broogh at the back of Faragher's thatched cottage in Glengrenick. It was probably a Bronze Age cinerary urn.
The site of a small, late medieval or post medieval steading and enclosure. The surviving features were conjectured to be a standing stone, stone alignment and mounds but have been explained as being part of a later complex.
Farrane Fing is an early medieval holy well which has not been located in modern times. The site is listed under Lonan parish and thought to fall to the east of the mountain road. Here there are several small streams with spring sources but no feature identificable as a well has been located.
Prehistoric flint scatter.
A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Fenella Beach by CH Cowley.
No further details concerning the circumstances of the discovery were recorded and the grid reference relates to centre of the beach for indicative purposes only.
The antiquary Charles Harry Cowley was an avid collector of worked flint and coarse stone artefacts revealed by agricultural activity, mainly on farms located around Peel, and occasionally from further afield. He was active from 1900 until 1943. His entire collection of artefacts, together with a daybook cataloguing his discoveries, was later donated to Manx National Heritage.
A quantity of worked Mesolithic flint was recovered over the course of nearly a century from the site of the Fenella Hotel on Peel Hill by a number of collectors, including Dr C Marsh, PMC Kermode, CH Cowley and BK Corlett.
The flint is mostly of early Mesolithic, microlithic type, leading Dr LS Garrad to describe the area as a major site of the period. Prof PC Woodman subsequently reappraised this area of Peel Hill as 'probably a group of sites rather than a single site. Material from both the Mesolithic and Neolithic can be found in this area'. The area of recovery would appear to be centred a little to the north of Ashton's Battery.
The hotel was built c1875, within the footprint of a former stone quarry, and burnt down in 1896. The earliest finds were made in 1887, so it is unlikely that they were made on the site of the hotel itself. Undisturbed ground just to the south is the more likely location, and this is reflected in the grid reference. A few worked flints have been recovered from the area of eroded footpath immediately adjacent, though no material has been found recently (time of writing, 2020).
A large proportion of the material was recovered by the antiquary Charles Harry Cowley, an avid collector of worked flint and coarse stone artefacts revealed by agricultural activity, mainly on farms located around Peel, and occasionally from further afield. He was active from 1900 until 1943. His entire collection of artefacts, together with a daybook cataloguing his discoveries, was later donated to Manx National Heritage.
Fenella Tower forms part of Peel Castle. St German's Cathedral, possibly on the site of a predecessor, was founded in the 13th-14th centuries but due to the incursions of the raiding Scots was protected by a curtain wall and gatehouse in the later 14th century, a feature that was to develop into the fortress and garrison of Peel Castle during the 15th to 19th centuries.

This is a natural mound which has been formed by two streams, one on either side, which flow from the southeast to the northwest. It is not thought to be of archaeological interest.
