A cairn which survives as a ditchless mound covered in grass and gorse which has a diameter of 8.0 metres and a height of 0.7 metres.
It has more recently been remodelled into an upper mound 4.0 m diameter and up to 0.4 metres high sat on the larger base. Some stones are now visible through the surface.
The remains of a Bronze Age cairn which is crossed by a boundary bank running north to south.
To the west of the bank the cairn has been removed. To the east of the bank, the remains of the cairn can be seen as a grass- and gorse-covered mound, 15 metres in diameter and standing up to 0.5 metres high. Small stones are visible in the surface of the mound.
The site of Lhergydhoo Wesleyan Methodist Chapel. It was founded as Whitestrand Chapel circa 1815. It is shown on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. It closed in 1976 and has since been converted into a dwelling.
A record for a widely collected assemblage of Neolithic flints and some clay beads. The precise locations of the individual finds are uncertain but include a spread from the Knocksharry 'Ronaldsway' type site, further to the north. The 'Top Curraghs', which produced leaf-shaped arrowheads in 1916 would seem to lie between the Staarvey and Switchback roads. Mr TC Craine gave Cowley three undateable cylindrical baked clay 'beads' from his garden, said to be a cemetery site. 'A few years ago' (c 1930) Cowley was excavating in a curragh on Upper Lhergydhoo, and exposed several arrowheads in different stages of manufacture, some very delicate, and all of good workmanship.
On the evidence given in CH Cowley's day-book, the Top Curragh would appear to have lain at the grid reference provided, amongst poorly drained fields which were improved during WW1.
A prismatic core of early prehistoric date was found by Cowley in the vicinity of Lhergydhoo and later donated to the Manx Museum by his sons.
