The remains of a cairn in an area of grass and fern. It shows a considerable stone content but the cairn is now very ruinous. Two parallel, edge set stone slabs are exposed in the cairn, 0.4 metres apart, 0.6 metres long and 0.1 metre thick, with a maximum height 0.5 metres. These are probably the remains of the burial cist.

This position on a small peninsular plateau at Glen Mooar has been the subject of conjecture that there may have been a promontory fort here.   It has also been suggested that an Early Medieval burial ground exists here, but it is said to be an unlikely keeill or chapel site.

This position on a small peninsular plateau at Glen Mooar has been the subject of conjecture that there may have been a promontory fort here.  The land is a flat topped neck of ground with fairly steep slopes on all sides except the east. Though the upper 2.0 m of the slopes appear steeper than normal this may be an optical illusion created by the erection of a wall and bank around the majority of the site. There is no definite evidence of scarping. The narrow neck in the east is created by two apparently natural re-entrants - the one on the north side curving southwards from an east-west river valley which has several such features and the one on the south curving backwards as part of a complex series of natural slopes. Across the narrow neck between these two re-entrants there is no trace of an artificial earthwork.  It has also been suggested that an Early Medieval burial ground exists here, but it is an unlikely keeill or chapel site.

The site of a Bronze Age barrow which was levelled about 1844. It is a ditchless, grass-covered bowl barrow situated on ground sloping to the northeast. Its diameter is 24.0 metres and its height to the south averages 1.0 metre. A few small stones are exposed on the flat top and at the sides of the barrow but there is now no visible trace of the cist which was reported here in the past.

The site of a post-medieval horse engine.

The site of a lead mine complex shown on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. It consisted of a number of features including "Old Levels", a level, wheelpit, leat and office building.

Prehistoric flint scatter. A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Glen Rushen by CH Cowley. The description is very general and as no further details concerning the circumstances of the discovery were recorded the grid reference relates to the the central part of the valley 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.

Undated alleged earthwork mound. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 shows an area of rough ground partially surrounded by drainage ditches. The site attracted suspicions that it might be an archaeological feature. Dr LS Garrad (Manx Museum 1964-96) pointed out that the presence of gooseberry and rose bushes suggested the presence of a domestic building in the modern period, despite it not surviving to be recorded by the OS. The site is now landscaped and incorporated into a residential development, but no finds were reported in the course of the work.

The reported site of a Mesolithic settlement at Glen Wyllin, where F. Swinnerton carried out an excavation in 1889.  The Glen Wyllan site was found by Canon Quine who called for the aid of Swinnerton who had discovered a similar industry in the South of the island at Port St Mary. The site was situated just behind Kirk Michael village, in an area of high scrub land, sloping down in all directions. The 'excavations' by Swinnerton revealed several thousands of flints, but only a small proportion now survive in the Manx Museum and some in the British Museum. A series of saucer-shaped pits containing 'burnt twigs' and flints were also discovered, which Clark interpreted as hut foundations but were almost certainly hearths similar to those found at Mount Sandel, Northern Ireland.  The Glen Wyllan site was discovered in the field numbered 931 on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map and is thought to continue into the adjacent field to the north (number 884) at  Ballacregga, discovered by C.H. Cowley in 1909, in the area of SC 318897 on the lip of the steep-sided Cooill Darry valley. A large collection of the flints from this area are in the Manx Museum. Further excavation undertaken close to the Swinnerton excavations in 2000 found over 1000 struck Mesolithic flints as well as charcoal and charred hazelnut shells. Radiocarbon dates from the shells dated this settlement to approximately 7,000BC, making this the earliest known settlement site on the Isle of Man.

The reported site of a Mesolithic settlement at Ballacregga discovered by C.H. Cowley in 1909, in the field numbered 884 on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map.  A large collection of flints were found and are now kept at the Manx Museum. The site lies immediately to the north of field 931, where F. Swinnerton carried out an excavation of a Mesolithic settlement site in 1889.  The two sites are thought to be a continuation of the same settlement. Further excavation undertaken close to the site of the Swinnerton excavation in 2000 found over 1000 struck Mesolithic flints as well as charcoal and charred hazelnut shells. Radiocarbon dates from the shells dated this settlement to approximately 7,000BC, making this the earliest known settlement site on the Isle of Man.

Prehistoric flint scatter. A quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Glen Wyllin by CH Cowley on more than one occasion. No further details concerning the circumstances of the discoveries were recorded and the grid reference relates to the middle of the valley 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.

Modern brewery. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a building complex at the grid reference provided, together with the annotation, 'Brewery (Disused)'. A brewer, wine merchant and maltsters are variously recorded in census returns for the area and local trade directories in the 1850s and early 1860s, though by the time of the OS the building had fallen out of use. The brewery building is now demolished and the site occupied by a garden. The two adjoining cottages have been converted into a single dwelling.
