Prehistoric flint scatter.
A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Raby by CH Cowley.
No further details concerning the discovery were recorded and the grid reference relates to the farmstead 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 possible remains of a horsewalk are located against the south wall of a barn at Raby farm, which suggests that this description could relate to OS field no. 0831, which is centred at the grid reference provided.

The burial ground associated with the early medieval chapel of Raby Keeill. The chapel survives only as a low earthwork.
The enclosure measures about 40 metres by 16 metres and is artificially raised and protected by a strong embankment. Nine lintel graves have been found in the cemetery in the past, containing human remains. The enclosure is turf covered and consists of a rectilinear enclosure with rounded corners surrounded by a bank with a strong stone content with average width of 2.0 metres, with an inner height of 0.2 metres and an outer height in the west of 1.4 metres. Within the enclosure are a series of minor enclosures. No trace of an entrance was found to the main enclosure though the bank is considerably lowered at the south east corner.
A scatter of Mesolithic "Bann" type flints found by Cowley. They include a flint javelin and a leaf-shaped arrowhead as well as a Neolithic axehead. There is doubt as to whether the findspot is accurately recorded. The artefacts may have been collected from several locations.

In 1929 an oak screen was erected to form a Chapel in the north east corner of the Nave and a chapel was furnished. In 2018 to commemorate the centenary of the end of the Great War and to celebrate the centenary of the formation of the RAF, the oak screen was extended, copies of All Saints Church memorial windows fitted and the whole chapel refurbished.
Plaque by the Prayer Desk in the Chapel states that the electric organ blower was presented to Andreas Parish Church by members of the RAF and Women's Auxillary Air Forces stationed at Andreas during the war years 1941-1945. Second World War.
The site of a now lost Civil War fort at Ramsey, which was built in 1648. Denton's description of 1681 implies that it was round in form and having the appearance of the north tower on the Castle Rushen glacis.
The site of a coastal fort or blockhouse which was built in 1693 at Ramsey during the Nine Years' War (1688-97) and from 1694 until 1713 was equipped with three guns mounted on a stone platform behind an embrasured wall. In 1758, during the Seven Years' War with France (1756-1763), the fort was rebuilt and was also provided with prison accommodation. Towards the end of the Anglo-French War (1778-1783), eight cannon were supplied to Ramsey in 1782-3, although the location of the batteries for which they were intended is not known for certain. Four were probably mounted at Gob ny Rona, and the remainder were probably intended for the blockhouse site although this was described as 'dismantled' in 1783.
The site is now built over.
