The site of a post-medieval farmstead complex, which is shown to be in ruins on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. The buildings and field boundaries have been removed or levelled in modern times.
A hotel established in the buildings of Fort Anne during the 20th century. The hotel shut in 1974 and the buildings were later demolished, but replaced by an office building built in a similar style. The original building was once home to Sir William Hillary, the founder of the Royal National Lifeboat Institute.
Modern smithy.
Former blacksmith's workshop. The property is still known as the Smithy.
The building is marked on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping, although not annotated. It appears to have been associated with two further buildings sited to the north-east, arranged around a yard.
These have now been demolished, possibly to facilitate the development of the roundabout at the adjacent junction, and the yard grassed over.
One wall of the more northerly of the two demolished structures forms part of the boundary wall.
Modern watermill and associated water management.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building at the grid reference provided, together with the annotation 'Corn Mill'.
The mill building is orientated east-west. The wheel was located on the south wall, and various annexes, now demolished, provided storage.
It was supplied by a leat extending 95m upstream, where the inlet took water from the river by means of a weir and sluice. A short 15m tail race returned water directly to the river.
The mill machinery was removed in 1971 and the building subsequently converted into a dwelling. The mill leat supplies garden water features.

Modern mill leat.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building together with the annotation 'Corn Mill'.
A leat provided water power to the mill. This extended 95m upstream, where the inlet took water from the river by means of a weir and sluice (at the grid reference provided).
The mill leat supplies garden water features.
Modern mill tail race.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building together with the annotation 'Corn Mill'.
A short 15m tail race returned water from the mill directly to the river at the grid reference provided; it is now built over.
A mound of uncertain origin shown on the 1869 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map. P.S. Gelling and A.M. Cubbon belived it to not be a mine spoil tip. The site has been built over in modern times.
A record for the Foxdale Railway, a 3-foot gauge line which operated from 1883 onwards. It was run by the Manx Northern Railway Company between St John's and the Foxdale mines. It amalgamated with the Isle of Man Railway in 1904. The line closed to passengers in 1940 and was dismantled thereafter.

The course of the former Foxdale Railway, which was a 3 foot gauge line operated by the Manx Northern Railway Company between St John's and the Foxdale mines. It was opened in 1883 and was amalgamated with the Isle of Man Railway in 1904. It closed to passengers in 1940. It finally closed in 1960 and the line was taken up in the mid-1970s.
Parts of the farmhouse, which is generally of early 19th century character, rest on massive granite boulders similar to those which form the lower courses of the church. It would therefore appear possible that these represent the remains of earlier structures dating from the time of the friary, though whether they are in situ or not has not been ascertained.
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.
The location of a possible cave dwelling, which was excavated by W. Cubbon et al. The floor of the cave was paved with large slabs and what appeared to be worked flints were present as well as an oval slate object. "Geological samples" were found below the floor.
