Prehistoric flint scatter. A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Skerrisdale by CH Cowley, from the 'Field nearer Sea from Goldie's Field'. The description is difficult to interpret 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.

Undated standing stone. This large white quartz boulder stands close to the summit of Skibrick Hill, a low hillock believed to be of glacial origin. It stands 1.2m high and is a metre across on its broadest face. It has a clear view across the valley to the north towards a similar stone at Booilevane. There is a well established local tradition that the Billown 'Circle' (PRN 0146) and the standing stones surrounding it are closely associated. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 marks the position of a single stone on the east side of the summit of Skibrick Hill, but at SC2668669446, approximately 24m away from the current site. There is no clear explanation for this apparent anomaly.

The site of a post-medieval water mill which was located on a stream and served both Skinscoe and Ballamoar.

Bronze Age burial mound. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 marks the site of a burial mound at the grid reference given, together with the annotation 'Tumulus (Site of)'. The OS marker is placed 10m NW of the position of a standing stone (this would appear to be the site described in PRN 0149, but see description for apparent inconsistency between its present location and the OS). Geophysical survey undertaken in 1995 and 1996 by Bournemouth University did not convincingly show an anomaly which might have indicated remains of the mound at this location, despite revealing extensive evidence of other sub-surface features on the hill which were subsequently tested by excavation, and shown to consist of an enclosure surrounded by four roughly concentric ditches.

The reputed site of an 11th century battlefield, where Godred Croven fought the Manx.  It is not possible to locate the battle accurately, yet the general locality is indicated by the Chronicle of Man and it would seem that the foot of the hill, between Skyhill and Ramsey is the likely site of the engagement.   The Battle of Skyhill marked the beginning of Godred Crovan's dynasty.  Godred Crovan 'came by night to the harbour called Ramsa, and concealed 300 men in a wood on the sloping brow of a hill called Scacafel. At dawn the Manx drew up in order of battle and with a mighty rush encountered Godred.  During the heat of the contest the 300 men, rising from the ambuscade in the rear, threw the Manx into disorder, and compelled them to flee.  When they saw they were overpowered, and had no means of escape, for the tide had filled the bed of the Ramsa river, and on the other side the enemy was closely pursuing them, those who remained...begged Godred to spare their lives.'

The site of the foundations of a building measuring 4.5 metres by 3.3 metres, which has been interpreted as either the site of a late prehistoric hut circle, an early medieval keeill or a later medieval Watch and Ward lookout post. Excavations by Kermode in 1912 revealed Bronze Age burials, fragments of two urns and a polished stone axehead or chisel. The feature is shown on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map as the ruins of a chapel.

The feature is shown as a Burial Ground on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. This has been tested by excavation and found to be nothing but an outcrop of rock in a ploughed field. There are similar features in the vicinity.

The site of a Bronze Age barrow, which survives as a ditchless, gorse and fern covered bowl barrow with diameter of 12.0 metres and height of 1.4 metres.  It has been partly dug away in the northwest and is crossed by a modern field bank in the south.  A cordoned urn, exposed by sheep rubbing against the mound, was removed by P.M.C. Kermode and the Rev. W. Morris in 1898. The urn is now kept in the Manx Museum (Accession No. 1954-0572).  A second barrow lies 50 metres to the southwest, PRN 0532.20. The barrow is shown as a Tumulus on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map.

The site of a mound which was thought to be a possible barrow, about 200 metres southeast of Skyhill Farm. It was later discounted and thought to be a natural feature.

The site of the foundations of a building measuring 4.5 metres by 3.3 metres, which has been interpreted as either the site of a late prehistoric hut circle, an early medieval keeill or a later medieval Watch and Ward lookout post or possibly a small fort.

Medieval burial ground. The remains of a raised enclosure are contained within a sub-rectangular fenced boundary measuring 27 by 14m. This is thought to represent a cemetery which is likely to have once extended further; the field name appears to translate as the 'barley field', and the west and east sides of the enclosure appear to have been truncated by ploughing. The burial ground is raised about 1m above the surrounding field. In the centre is a cist-like feature, which measures 1.0 m x 0.4 m x 0.6 m deep. It is considered too small to be either Bronze Age or a lintel grave. Several large stones are exposed, apparently by trenching, and two erect stones at the north end of the enclosure appear to mark an entrance. The site was investigated by the Manx Archaeological Survey (1915). The trenches would appear to be the result of their excavations. The Survey recorded the burial ground as pear-shaped, with its wider end to the south. At the extreme southern end two standing stones appeared to define a second entrance, much as that still visible to the north. Paving stones appeared to mark a short path leading north to the doorway of the chapel. The investigation also showed that a pathway led south from the northern entrance of the enclosure as far as the chapel, and that an additional path appeared to cross at least half of the surviving width of the enclosure from east to west. The remainder of the enclosure was not tested for burials.

The findspot of an early prehistoric flint scatter consisting of four flakes from a summit quarry found by Dr G. Bersu.

A Bronze Age cairn which measures 20.0 metres northwest to southeast, by 13.0 metres northeast to southwest and up to 0.8 metres high. It is grass covered with a few large stones exposed through the surface. A modern cairn has been erected of relatively large stones on top of the centre of the mound. A section of ditch survives for 7.0 metres to the southeast, which is 2.0 metres wide and 0.2 m deep.  There is a possible passage into the south side which may indicate this is a passage grave.

The site of these undated earthwork enclosures has been described as; 'Above the Port, a gully, called the Glion-na-Halaina, comes down Slieau Curn (at SC 342906 on OS 6 inch 1957). Halfway up this little ravine are the remains of two earthworks. The one more strongly defined is a pentagonal enclosure, each side about fifty feet in length, standing on the south bank of the rivulet which divides the gulley. Urns, too, are said to have been uncovered on the site by rabbit trappers.'

One of a group of three hut circles. They are situated on an exposed hilltop with no trace of an enclosure. They are thought to be Bronze Age or Iron Age in date.  All three are grass covered. Hut Circle A is at SC 33889042 and has an outer diameter of 9.0 metres with a slightly scooped out interior. The internal height of the walls is 0.2 metres and the external height of the walls averages 0.3 metres. The average width of walls is 1.5 metres. There is no obvious entrance and no stonework is visible.

One of a group of three hut circles. They are situated on an exposed hilltop with no trace of an enclosure. They are thought to be Bronze Age or Iron Age in date.  All three are grass covered. Hut circle B appears to adjoin Hut Circle C and is the western hut of the pair. It has an outer diameter of 9.0 metres to the centre of the communal entrance which is 1.5 metres wide. The wall base averages 2.0 metres wide with some stone outer facings visible in the southwest. The internal height of walls is 0.2 metres and the external height of 0.2 metres.  The hut interior has a scooped out effect. In the northeast section of the wall is a 2.0 metre wide entrance marked by low stones.

One of a group of three hut circles. They are situated on an exposed hilltop with no trace of an enclosure. They are thought to be Bronze Age or Iron Age in date. All three are grass covered.  Hut circle C appears to adjoin Hut Circle B, with which it shares a communal entrance and is the eastern hut of the pair.  It is scooped out of the gentle slope, with no outer bank and no entrance other than the one into the hut, 0830.20, on the west. Its interior diameter is 3.5 metres and it is scooped out to a depth of 0.5 metres.

An area of probable peat extraction where possible "foundations" have been reported.  This is in a marshy area covered with reeds and moss.  The land falls gently from the northwest to a steep hillside ascending to the southeast.  The area has been clearly affected by peat cutting, leaving hollows and banks of irregular form.  At SC 34678998 an oval feature has been noted, measuring 8.0 metres, north to south, by 6.0 metres east to west, with an outer height of 0.4 metres and a vague bank of 1.0 metres width, and an interior height of 0.2 metres. This feature is not level but follows the slope of the surrounding ground.  It seems likely that it represents an area of peat extraction dating to the past two centuries, rather than a structure associated with any settlement.

Roundhouses; shieling mounds. A group of four roundhouses survive as penannular earthworks on the south-east facing slopes of Slieau Freoaghane. The roundhouses are grouped together in pairs, and appear to have doorways facing south-east, downslope. The structures are approximately 7-8m in diameter, though are overgrown with heather and bilberry. Gelling's small-scale distribution map of shielings shows 24 shieling mounds in the general area.
