A small stone cross, probably a grave marker, which is in the form of a crude cross, with a rounded head and short projecting arms. Unusually, there is a cross-shaped hole cut through the centre of the stone. It was found here in 1948 and measures 20 inches x 12.5 inches x 2.25 inches. It is now kept in the Manx Museum, Cross 170.
Prehistoric flint scatter.
A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Greeba Mountain by CH Cowley.
No further details concerning the circumstances of the discovery were recorded and the grid reference relates to the summit 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.
The site of a post-medieval sheepfold attached to the northern side of the field boundary which now defines the Greeba forestry plantation. It is shown as an "Old Sheepfold" on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map.

Greeba Tower is a Victorian castellated residence, built in the Gothic style and designed by the Manx architect John Robinson of Douglas. It was built in 1849 along with a neighbouring residence of Greeba Castle.
The reported site of a prehistoric barrow in a heavily vegetated area. The barrow was noted by Kermode as early as 1894 but no trace of it was found by the Ordnance Survey in 1957.
Neolithic Ronaldsway type pottery and flint implements have been found in the remains of a Cronk here, in and about which were many flints and fragments of cinerary urns. A small, cup marked stone, grey slate, measuring 10 centimetres by 7.5 centimetres has also been found.
A Neolithic roughened-butt axehead of Ronaldsway type was 'found on a hedge many years ago' at Grenaby, and donated to the Manx Museum in 1948 by A Lee, Accession Number 1954-5980.
The site of an Iron Age Roundhouse or defended enclosure. It measures approximately 64 metres in diameter and consists of concentric banks and ditches which are visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs.
A much mutilated, ditchless, gorse covered bowl barrow with an average diameter of 16.0 metres and height of 1.0 metre. It is crossed in the east by a wall beyond which it has been ploughed out.
Canon Quine in the early 20th century discovered the central cist of four slate slabs on the top of the barrow. The cist is orientated east to west with a stone slab lining and a broken capstone. It is 1.0 metre long by 0.7 metres wide by 0.6 metres deep. It was found to contain a decorated food vessel about 13 centimetres in diameter at the top, 11.5 centimetres high and 6.5 centimetres diameter at the base. No burial appears to have been found in the cist although one is assumed to have existed.
Bronze Age cup-marked stone.
PMC Kermode (director of the Manx Museum 1922-32) recorded antiquarian observations on a 1:10560 Ordnance Survey map set.
The map bears an annotation indicating a cup-marked stone in OS Field no. 695, on Gretchvane farm. A manuscript notebook (Kermode, 1899, p.22) contains sketch of the stone.
A subsequent visit by a Royal Commission field inspector could find no trace of the stone.
The grid reference relates to the centre of the field.
The site of a Bronze Age barrow on Gretch Vooar. It measures 13 metres by 7 metres and is up to 1.8 metres high. An urn was found in a cist within the mound and is kept at the Manx Museum.

The dwelling was constructed after 1868 and is not present on Ordnance Survey 1:2500 1st edition map of that date.
The property was acquired by the Manx Museum and National Trust in 1990.
