The Manx Archaeological Survey records the presence of a worked stone 220 yards ENE of the site of the keeill recorded by the OS. The ground at this point is now part of a fairway on the golf course, but rough ground lies both to the north and south at SC19947000 and SC19966996 respectively - the latter appears more directly to reflect the directions given by the MAS. The MAS describes the stone as much weathered, standing about 0.8m high, and protruding from an apparently eroded, flat-topped mound about 2m in diameter. The Survey suggests that the stone may be a decapitated cross-slab, possibly marking a grave.
The findspot of a Bronze Age cremation urn which contained evidence of cremated remains as well as a perforated inscribed disc. It was found in 1801 when site of the medieval grange was cleared, and reported in the Manks Advertiser.
The findspot of an early prehistoric flint scatter consisting of 8 waste flakes and a core found as a group, with over 20 flint flakes also found nearby. Many of the pieces were weathered and wind-polished.
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 site of the Agneash Shaft in the Great Laxey mine complex. This shaft was sunk to only 59 fathoms below adit level and hardly developed before it was abandoned.
The site of the Dumbell's shaft in the Great Laxey mine complex. This shaft was begun circa 1860 and was ultimately the deepest shaft in the mine, reaching 302 fathoms (552 metres) below adit level.
The site of the Engine Shaft in the Great Laxey mine complex. It was sunk to a depth of 247 fathoms below adit level and was used for winding and later for pumping.
A particular feature of the Great Laxey mines was the hydraulic Man Engine, which was the miners lift.
Prior to 1881 the men had to walk up and down ladders to get to work on the lower levels. With journeys taking an hour each way, or a quarter of their shift. The Man Rods, baulks of metal-reinforced timber with small, standing room only, platforms attached at regular intervals were installed in the partitioned Welsh Shaft.
The shaft followed the lode so that it was about 10-15 degrees off vertical and the rods were supported on rollers. The Man Engine was a two-foot diameter piston with twelve foot stroke which lifted the rods this height. Platforms were fixed at twelve foot intervals on the shaft, one side being used up to go up, the other to go down.
When the engine was working a head of some two hundred foot of water drove the piston up vertically. It fell under its own weight. The Engine continued to work until 1919 and its remains are preserved in situ.
The men were carried up and down by stepping from the platforms on the rods onto the the fixed platforms in the shaft. Any one rod platform only travelled between two of the fixed ones. To go down from a level a miner stepped onto a rod platform when the piston reached the top of the stroke. He rode it down and stepped off onto a fixed platform when the bottom of the stroke was reached. He stepped onto the next rod platform when it was lifted level with him and rode on down to the next fixed platform.
The site of a large waterwheel parallel to the stream and below the road which was part of the complex of washing floors for the Great Laxey mine. The wheel remains in situ.
The site of a large waterwheel which was positioned at right angles to the stream and below the road which was part of the complex of washing floors for the Great Laxey mine.
The site of a 19th century lead mine shaft in the Great Laxey mine sett. This was the north shaft, which only reached a depth of 180 metres below ground level, and was backfilled in circa 1919.
The site of a turbine powered winding house built circa 1860 for the Engine Shaft and for the Man Engine in the Welsh Shaft within the Great Laxey mine complex.
The site of the Welsh Shaft within the Great Laxey mine complex. It was sunk to a depth of 295 fathoms below adit level, and was used for winding, for the Man Engine and for pumping out the lower levels.
