The site of a post-medieval horse engine. The circular horsewalk is shown on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map, located at the southern side of a large L-shaped building range.
6 names listed in alphabetical order; First World War. Bronze plate on wooden backing.
The memorial was unveiled at Douglas Post Office on Sunday, 18 December 1922. It was sponsored by corporate donation. The unveiling was carried out by the Postmaster Mr R.H. Nicholls. The memorial was dedicated by the Reverend H.S. Taggart. The plaque was re-sited within Regent Street Post Office in 2010, following refurbishment of the building. During the refurbishment it was stored temporarily at the Manx Museum. The memorial was designed by Archibald Knox.

The site of an Early Medieval keeill or chapel and burial ground thought to date to the period AD 500-1000. Considerable remains of the keeill are visible although its present appearance dates largely from the clearing and partial reconstruction undertaken by the Inspector of Ancient Monuments, G.J.H. Neely, in 1935, when fallen stones and floor material were used to rebuild the 'robbed' walls. Externally, very few original stones are to be seen in the banking.
No trace of the burial-ground embankment (shown on the OS 1:2500 mapping of 1868) can now be seen, and the farmer asserted that he had never ploughed up graves there. Two stones outside of the keeill may be associated with it, and a third in the hedge-bank to the northwest may have been a tethering stone.
The above description is largely derived from J.R. Bruce's detailed record published in 1968. In recent years the current landowner has cleared vegetation from the site and now maintains it in this condition. The surrounding enclosure is now more obviously defined by a series of modern marker boulders, and part of the later field boundary has been removed to make the site more easily discernible. The grid reference is centred on the enclosure as now defined.

Neely, in 1935, when fallen stones and floor material were used to rebuild the 'robbed' walls. The walling of the keeill on its internal face is one course only except for a short length of east wall which is three courses high. The west end is ill-defined, apparently devoid of stones, but the opening may represent the position of the original doorway. The remains of the chapel are orientated northeast to southwest and consist of turf covered dry-stone walls with internal measurements of 5.1 metres x 2.4 metres. The walls have a maximum internal height of 1.5 metres, average external height of 0.6 metres and are 0.8 metres wide. A slight shelf in the east may indicate the remains of the altar. A broken down entrance 1.1 metres wide is in the west.

A mound of uncertain purpose which was excavated by Larch Garrad. Cowley gathered flints on 'Rheast Bwee' which included over 130 flints flakes and scrapers, as well as 5 Bronze Age pottery sherds from the area. Several quartz mounds or cairns were noted here during forestry operations in 1986-87.
The site of an early medieval keeill or chapel. The site has long since been ploughed out. It is situated on the Ard at a point 40 metres north of the road and 35 metres east of the field hedge, being a little to the south of Cashtal yn Ard. The field is still called 'Bwoaillee Caballagh' - Chapel Fold and is numbered as Plot 1912 on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map.
A water-worn, broken slab with a possible 'Tau' cross incised upon it has been found at Rhendoo and is now kept at the Manx Museum. The stone has not since been included in the Manx Cross series. A six-figure grid reference was provided which places the discovery close to several others which are not of similar date if this is a Christian memorial or monument. No early medieval ecclesiastical or religious site is known in the vicinity.
The findspot of a Mesolithic flint scatter. The finds included pieces of Heavy-blade type worked flint, flakes, blades and an irregular, tanged 'missile head'.
