Undated standing stones.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 records this site, together with the annotation, 'Standing Stones'.
The stones could not be found by a Royal Commission field inspection in 1955, and no trace was found when the site was developed for residential purposes in the 1990s.
Modern watermill.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 depicts a water mill at this location, without annotation.
The building is still standing.
Modern millpond.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 depicts a water mill at this location, without annotation.
The millpond is located just to the north of the mill building, and still exists.
Modern mill leat.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 depicts a water mill at this location, without annotation.
The leat leads about 30m from the millpond to the mill, and an even shorter tail race rejoins the watercourse just downstream of the building. Neither are now visible.
A slightly oval, grass covered mound with an average diameter of 11.0 metres and height of 0.7 metres. Its grass is vivid green in contrast to the surrounding field. The tops of a few large stones are exposed but there is no evidence of a retaining circle. It may be a barrow or it may represent field clearance. Judging by the abrupt junction of its slopes with the surrounding ground, it is artificial.
A mound which was described by P.M.C. Kermode in 1916 as 'A large mound on the top of the hill above Mount Murray and overlooking Douglas Bay is recent, and was erected about 1812, by Sir Wadsworth Busk, Attorney-General, to commemorate the recovery of King George III from illness."
Modern survey work has concluded that the mound is in fact a Bronze Age bowl barrow, which survives as a grass-covered, ditchless mound, with a diameter of 14.0 metres and up to 1.7 metres high. It is slightly mutilated with minor hollows.
P.M.C. Kermode reported that a small stone circle once stood on the slopes of Mount Murray, consisting of short grey pillars adjoining a burial mound. No trace of the stones now exists, but the burial mound survives (PRN 0751.00).
Medieval burial ground.
The site is partially wooded, which prevented full investigation during the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1918; no discernible burial ground enclosure is visible, but stones indicating lintel graves were noted in the mid 19th century.
Medieval chapel and burial ground. The keeill is orientated approximately NE-SW, and is entered by a doorway through the 'west' gable. It measures 4.2 by 2.2m internally and the turf-capped stone walls survive to a maximum 0.9m above ground level. The site is partially wooded, which prevented full investigation during the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1918; small-scale excavation suggested that the floor is about 0.6m below current ground level.

Late medieval field system. In the course of fieldwork on Mull Hill in the early part of the 20th century, a number of linear stone boundaries were observed extending across the whole of the hilltop in a SW-NE direction (the grid reference refers to the summit of the hill). A smaller number of boundaries running perpendicular to this axis were also seen.
The boundaries coincide noticeably with land divisions recorded in Woods' Atlas (1867) and based on earlier estate plans surveyed during the first half of the 19th century. The land division system on the Isle of Man is generally considered to have its origins in the medieval period. Despite its moorland appearance, the whole of Mull Hill appears ultimately to have been included within this system, rather than serving as common land, though this may have been its earlier status before enclosure.
