The site of an early medieval keeill or chapel and burial ground, which would have been in use during the period circa AD500 to AD1000. The Ordnance Survey recorded a description based on field observations; 'In a field to the immediate SE of Speke is pointed out the site of an ancient Chapel and Burial Ground. A number of stone lined graves are to be seen in the road running past the East end of the field, and during the construction of the road a large quantity of human bones were found. There is no tradition regarding the spot.' Lintel graves have been discovered on the site at different times. In 1909, Mr R Lace examined fourteen of these, which were of the usual character, and in one of them were remains of two adult skeletons. He tried to ascertain the original size of the cemetery; the boundaries were gone but he found from the position of the burials that it had been about 180 metres in diameter.  Geophysical survey has now defined the burial ground more accurately.  A single lintel grave containing a fairly well-preserved skeleton was excavated by L.S. Garrad.

It is kept in Manx Museum (No. 171).

The site of an early medieval cross slab (Manx Cross 189), reported to remain in situ at the site of the keeill at Speke. It was found in 1981 and recovered by Time Team during excavation in 2006. This substantial round-headed slab bears a deeply pecked cross near the head of one face. The 2006 excavation (Channel 4 Time Team, with Wessex Archaeology undertaking the archaeological recording and analysis) also uncovered the keeill's original altar (built of thin Manx slate slabs with white pebbles), a square reliquary structure lined with white quartz stones (possibly containing a founder's relic), and a plait of human hair preserved in one grave. Radiocarbon dating of three graves at the site produced dates in the 6th-7th centuries, predating the keeill structure, indicating the chapel was built within an already-existing burial ground; Richard Lace's study of fourteen lintel graves suggested the cemetery extended to roughly 200 yards in diameter. The Time Team episode covering this excavation, "Finds on the Fairway," aired as Series 14, Episode 1.

An incised cross-slab of Manx slate was found on the keeill-site by an Officer Cadet Training Party camping there in 1941. It is kept in Manx Museum (Accession No. 171).  The slab has a double outline cross within a circle incised into its face and measures 126 centimetres x 29 centimetres x 6.4 centimetres thick.

This slab was found in 1941 at a chapel site at Speke (IOMHER 0699.00). It is a complete slab bearing at the head an equal-armed cross set in a roughly circular frame. The incised cross was discovered by an Officer Cadet Training party who were camping at the Speke Keeill site in 1941, making it the earliest of the several inscribed slabs recovered from this early Christian chapel and burial ground on Mount Murray Golf Club land, Braddan (near the Speke Lane boundary, extending onto Speke Farm). It is distinct from a second, round-headed slab (Manx Cross 189) found at the site in 1981 and later recovered during the Time Team/Wessex Archaeology excavation in 2006, and from an Ogham-inscribed stone (Manx Cross 205, dated 8th-12th century, reading "BAC OCOICAT IALL") also found during that 2006 excavation.

This substantial round-headed slab was found at Speke keeill (IOMHER 0699.00) in 1981, and was later recovered during excavations by the Time Team TV programme in 2006. Near the head of one face is a deeply pecked cross.

This broken slab was found at Speke Keeill (IOMHER 0699.00) during excavations by the Time Team TV programme in 2006. One face bears a damaged ogham inscription, the interpretation of which is difficult. One reading suggests a rather abstract interpretation, translating the words, 'corner', 'fifty' and 'group', but another has proposed, '...son of the tribe of Catiall..'

First World War: 21 names listed. Second World War: 8 names listed. The paper roll of honour is approximately A4 size, mounted, framed and glazed. The names are typed on paper and a line separates the names of those who died in the First World War from the names of those who died in the Second World War.

25 names listed in alphabetical order; First World War. Second World War. Beige plaque in Sicilian marble, framed in alabaster with blue and gold mosaic border. The memorial was originally situated in St Andrew's church at Finch Road, Douglas. It was moved in 1988 when the church was demolished. The plaque was removed and re-sited at the new location of St Andrew's Church, Glencrutchery Road, Douglas. The new St Andrew's church and memorial were dedicated on 25 April 1989. Messrs J. Wippell of Exeter designed the memorial. It was originally erected by Mr T.H. Royston.

A Viking age coin hoard, which included silver bracelets or rings, was found here in the spring of 1867 whilst digging for the foundations of the new tower for Andreas Parish Church. The find was made at about 1.5 metres depth.  It is recorded that nearly 100 coins were thrown out in one spade-full of earth.   Much of the hoard is now lost, but as far as has been ascertained they were of the reigns of Eadgar (AD959-975) and Edwy (AD955-959), but of various 'moneyers'.  The surviving coins consist of Eadwig and Eadgar with representatives of an Imitative Series, copying Eadgar that date essentially from the 970s when the hoard appears to have been deposited. A police report dated 1874 makes it clear that apart from the coins, the hoard also contained 'some old rings' or 'silver bracelets'; these are not known to have survived. Along with these coins were also found some horses teeth, bits of charred wood, and black earth, which indicated burning. 'The coins were generally in very bad condition, and most of them were purloined by the workmen; but some few have been preserved.' 'In 1874, several coins of a similar kind were found in digging a grave (in the churchyard).'  Seventy-five coins from Andreas Church are in the Manx Museum and some from Arthur Moore's Collection were received circa 1939.  Forty-one coins now survive in the Manx Museum consisting of Hiberno-Norse, Hiberno-Manx, and Anglo-Saxon pennies, several of which were perforated. The surviving coins suggest concealment of the hoard towards the end of the 1040s, but it only forms part of the original find which was dispersed on discovery.  'A further parcel of three complete and one damaged coin from the 1860s (sic) Andreas church tower hoard has come to light. This was lent to the Manx Museum for study and photography. The patina on the damaged coin matched that on the Manx Museum's holding, confirmation that it formed part of the same hoard. The coins remain in private hands.'

The site of St Bartholomew's Chapel (Keeill Pharlane), a keeill thought to have been use in the period AD 500-1000.  No surface features are now to be seen and there does not appear to be any record of lintel-burials near the site, yet the name and dedication have survived in local folk-memory. The site is in a field of rough permanent pasture and on a very slight natural rise in the ground. The surrounding surface is hummocky and uneven, but no continuous banks can be recognised nor are there any conspicuous stones in the nearby field walls.

The nunnery of St Bridget was probably in existence circa 1176 but there is no record of its foundation but it has been listed as being on the site of a keeill. St Bridget's name is also attached to a northern parish, its church, and seven ancient keeill sites elsewhere on the Island. The surviving chapel building, thought to date from around the 12th or 13th century, is the only monastic structure of the nunnery still standing; for centuries it served as a coach house before being restored to use as a place of worship in the 1880s. It continued in use as a chapel until 1998, when new owners of the estate ended the congregation's use of the building and it was deconsecrated.

The parish cemetery of St Bride's Church. It may have origins as the burial ground of an early medieval keeill and is likely to have been used from the 12th century onwards for the medieval church which stood here until it was replaced with the present building in 1869.

Names listed alphabetically. Framed Roll of Honour. One name not on roll, or on Parish War Memorial is Pte. J.M. Quarrie, R.A. Killed in Action 1 January 1918. Buried in church yard in a Commonwealth war grave. Reason unknown. His name is listed on Lezayre memorial.

The site of the 12th century church which stood here until the present church was built, according to this record, in 1869. Kirk Bride, the parish church, is dedicated to St Bridget; other sources describe its rebuilding as having been consecrated in 1876 by Bishop Selwyn to a design by the architect Joseph Henry Christian - the discrepancy in date has not been resolved from the sources checked. The rebuilt church contains an Adam and Eve stone, formerly part of the chancel floor and now set into an interior wall, one of only six such carved stones known in the British Isles. This record shares its mapped location with the separate Historic Environment Record entry 'Bride Church' (id 8321); the two entries most likely refer to the same church referenced at different periods (the earlier medieval building and its later rebuilding), though this has not been independently confirmed.

St Bridget's Church, Bride was built in 1869 but replaced a 12th century church which itself was certainly on the site of an ancient keeill. A small 12th century slab depicting the Temptation of Adam and Eve (Manx Crosses 147) which was taken from the earlier church, is set over the door of the present building.

The Ordnance Survey First Edition 1:2500 map of 1868 records "St Catherine's Chapel Burial Ground" here and marks the site at the grid reference provided.  The Manx Archaeological Survey (1968) describes the site as well authenticated though no remains are now visible.  Durham's survey of the Island (1595, published by Speed, 1605) marked the chapel, and the Survey notes sources that record that a 17th century owner of the site was responsible for its demolition.  The Survey observes that the Ordnance Survey siting of the burial ground on high ground immediately west of the neighbouring stream would seem a likely position for the chapel. The Rev E.B. Savage in 1885 records that graves had been found there.  Local tradition suggests a siting on lower ground by the stream (SC 22807012). This is highly improbable as the area is liable to occasional flooding.  There are no remains to be seen of either a chapel or burial ground. Of the two postulated sites the OS site seems more likely as it follows the traditional siting of keeills on natural eminences. The stream-side site was pointed out by Mr. M. Walker of Bellabbey Farm and vague traces of what may be foundations are discernible. The stream too, appears to have been diverted to avoid this point but the area as a whole has been landscaped in the past and it is impossible to assess the significance of the hummocky ground indicated by Mr Walker.

This is highly improbable as the area is liable to occasional flooding.  Within a dozen or so yards of the keeill site, the little Bellabbey stream is spanned by a large flat stone, locally reputed to be the 'altar stone'. It is 5 foot 6 inch in length, 2 foot 6 inch wide, and very thick and heavy, far too substantial for an altar stone. It is devoid of any markings.  There are no remains to be seen of either a chapel or burial ground.

The alleged Altar Slab still serves as a slab bridge but nothing can be inferred from its appearance as it is devoid of markings.
