St Michael's parish church stands in Kirk Michael and the site is likely to have medieval origins.   A parish church may have existed on the site from the date of the creation of the parish in the 12th century, and is likely to have replaced an earlier keeill or chapel.   Remains of the eastern end of the pre-19th century church still stand in the north-eastern part of the churchyard, surrounded by graves and completely detached from the present church.  There is no obvious indication of the former ground plan of the earlier church nor can the nature or age of the remains be determined, though it appears certain that the remains represent the chancel.  The west side of the remains has a weathered commemorative plaque dated 1695 whilst the east side has a stone inscribed, 'This chancel was rebuilt at the sole expense of the Revd Dr Thomas Wilson a native of this Parish and son of the Rt Revd Thomas Wilson late Lord Bishop of this Diocese'. 'AD MDCCLXXVI'. Demolition of the old church appears to have begun as early as 1827, leading to the discovery of a medieval cross slab.  Demolitioncontinued for some years afterward and several more medieval crosses, and a coinhoard, were found in the process.  Its replacement, which stands some 45m to the south-west, was completed in 1835.

A record for a late medieval lych gate at St Michael's, Kirk Michael. The present lych gate stands at the southeastern entrance into the parish churchyard of St Michael's, close to the present church, which was built circa 1837. The present lychgate is not shown on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map and is evidently of later date.

Post medieval gun battery. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 shows a rectangular earthwork marked as a fort at this location. The earthwork is believed to have been constructed on the orders of James Stanley, 7th Earl of Derby, as part of his modernisation of the defences of the Isle of Man during the Great Civil War. The Stanleys were lords of Man and held the island for the Royalist cause. Stanley was responsible for modernising the adjacent round masonry fort (PRN 0075) during the 1640s. Whilst the latter covers approaches to Derbyhaven from the sea, the earthwork fort may have been constructed as a means of protecting the stone fort from attack launched from the direction of Langness to the south-west. The earthwork encloses an almost square area 20m long and wide, and the embankments, which are now very spread and only about 1m high, are 8m wide. There are traces of an additional embanked enclosure extending from the south-west side, though its purpose is unknown. Wheeled traffic has caused erosion of the earthwork and vehicular access is now prevented.

Site of Medieval skirmish. The Chronicles of the Kings of Man and the Isles describes how in 1250 Magnus, son of Olaf, and Eogan (John, king of the Isles), son of Dougal, together with some Norwegians, landed at Ronaldsway and sent envoys to the Manx. A disagreement arose, resulting in Eogan drawing up his forces in readiness for battle on St Michael's Isle. The Manx did the same, and as the tide went out, crossed to the islet and attacked, driving the Norwegians and Hebrideans into the sea. Several were killed or drowned, and Magnus and Eogan left in their ships with the survivors. Magnus was the rightful heir to the Manx throne, but the kingship had been usurped by Harald son of Godred Don; by the time of the skirmish, Harald had been ordered to Norway, and the Manx were in effect leaderless. The Chronicles state that the disagreement arose because Eogan, rather than Magnus, presumed to exercise control over the Manx without the necessary letters of authority from the king of Norway. Magnus would return two years later to reclaim his birthright successfully. No physical evidence for the skirmish has yet been found.

A polished Neolithic stone axehead of Ronaldsway type (with roughened butt) found on St Michael's Isle in 1971. There are no further details and for indicative purposes the grid reference refers to the middle of the islet. The axehead is in the Manx National Heritage collections, accession no. 1971-0144.

Medieval chapel, burial ground and holy well. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867 shows the location of a chapel and burial ground at this location, formerly on Colby farm, together with the annotation, 'Site of St Nicholas' Chapel & Burial Ground'. Field boundaries to the west and north, and steep slopes to the south, define the location, within which the site is marked. The Manx Archaeological Survey (1915) records the site as lying on a knoll, and notes that the site is sometimes known as Cashtal Niglus on account of its obviously defensible position, suggestive of a fort, overlooking the lowest bridging point on the Laxey river and the mouth of a natural harbour. The Survey also draws attention to the survival of the chapel's dedication, which is comparatively rare for such sites on the Isle of Man. The Survey makes no other comment about the site, implying that neither the chapel nor the burial ground were visible, but notes the nearby presence to the south of Chibbyr Niglus (St Nicholas' Well) which was filled in 'having been desecrated by bloodshed'. A Royal Commission field inspector noted in 1976 that the site occupied a flat-topped plateau which was prominent enough to have suggested the idea of a fort but that there was nothing evident on the ground to support this idea. He also recorded that the summit of the plateau was uncultivated, and was unable to locate the site of the well. LS Garrad (Manx Museum 1964-96) speculated that the well might be that recorded in OS Field no. 1897 to the east of the site; this is shown on the OS map of 1867 with a path leading to it, which would appear unlikely given the tradition surrounding it.

Medieval burial ground. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867 shows the location of a chapel and burial ground at this location, formerly on Colby farm, together with the annotation, 'Site of St Nicholas' Chapel & Burial Ground'. Field boundaries to the west and north, and steep slopes to the south, define the location, within which the site is marked. The rectilinear form of the boundaries is unlikely to represent a cemetery enclosure, as these tend to be curvilinear. The Manx Archaeological Survey (1915) records the site as lying on a knoll, and notes that the site is sometimes known as Cashtal Niglus on account of its obviously defensible position, suggestive of a fort, overlooking the lowest bridging point on the Laxey river and the mouth of a natural harbour.

The Survey makes no other comment about the site, implying that neither the chapel nor the burial ground were visible. A Royal Commission field inspector in 1976 was similarly silent about the possible extent of the site.

The site of the modern church of St Ninian.

The findspot of an early prehistoric flint scatter.

37 names listed alphabetically, First World War. Decorative wrought iron screen and archway, embellished with brass fittings either side of the archway. The memorial was unveiled on 4 August 1922. The plaque containing the Second World War dedication was unveiled in 1949 by Lt. Col. John Cubbon, O.B.E., The Cheshire Regt. and dedicated by the vicar. (Ramsey Courier, 11 Feb 1949, p. 4).

St Olav's or St Olaf's church, Ramsey.

The findspot of a collection of Mesolithic flints including large scrapers and arrowhead of the 'Glen Wyllan/Bellacregga Complex' including one core axehead and a small group of microliths revealed as a surface scatter during building work near St Olav's or Olaf's. They are now kept in the Manx Museum.

This stone pillar was found in 1857 when the site of a keeil was cleared. It appears now to stand on, or close to, its original location, as part of a modern structure acknowledging the former keeill. It bears a simple cross on one face near its head. The cross has arms of equal length, which have been boldly pecked and gouged out. It is very similar in form to Manx Cross 7.

The ruined remains of a building thought to have possibly served as a private chapel to St German's Cathedral,although this is not proven and the building had no architectural features of an ecclesiastical or datable character. The style of building and the height of the walls show it to have been an advance on early keeill-types with which it otherwise accords in its small size and plain rectangular form. 'St Patrick's Chapel' stands within the earthworks about the centre of the island. It is built of undressed, grey local stone with some red sandstone. The ruin is orientated east to west and its walls average up to 1 metre wide in thickness.  Internally, the building measures 6.8 metres by 3.6 metres. The majority of the walls stand to an internal height of 1.2 metres, though the east wall, which has a square window of 0.8 m sides, still stands to its original height. There is an entrance through the western wall. A cross-slab, interpreted as an altar-slab (Manx Cross No 46) 'appears to have been from this Chapel' (Re-numbered No 67 but apparently is also alleged to have come from St Patrick's Church).

Medieval chapel; Post medieval schoolroom. The building, which is orientated ENE-WSW, stands within a large, embanked, oval enclosure measuring 40 by 30m and raised slightly above the surrounding agricultural field. The structure is roofless, and now measures 6.1 by 3.4m internally. A depression outside the west gable suggests that the building may once have been between 3 and 4m longer. The structural remains are of two periods, and have been interpreted as representing two different uses. The east gable, and a short length of the adjacent north and south walls, are thought to be of 14th or 15th century style, incorporating characteristic detailing in mullions and jambs. A Norse cross (Manx Cross 103) was re-used as a lintel above the east window. A piscina is built into the south wall. The remainder of the standing structure apparently dates to around 1749, when the building was converted into a schoolroom. The masonry re-uses older stonework, but is bound together using a clay matrix rather than lime mortar. The Manx Archaeological Survey cleared, surveyed and repaired the building in 1911, and also noted evidence of burials, interpreting these as evidence for the likely presence of an even older chapel on the site.

Bronze Age burial. Traces of a burial associated with charcoal were discovered in the course of the investigation of the medieval chapel by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1911, at a point close to the SE corner of the chapel. The Survey interpreted these remains as being the burial from which the antiquary and folklorist Charles Roeder had previously recovered a cinerary urn in 1885.

Medieval burial ground. This large, embanked, oval enclosure measures about 40 by 30m and is raised slightly above the surrounding agricultural field. The chapel lies near the centre, and was the focus of investigation by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1911. A small number of graves were found running beneath the east gable and immediately outside, and their presence taken to indicate the existence of an earlier chapel on the site. The rest of the enclosure was not further tested.

Medieval chapel. Investigation of the site by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1910 showed that the existing building was of two phases, the earlier of which post-dated Christian graves which were apparently not on the same alignment. On the basis of the presence of the graves, an early gravemarker (Manx Cross 018) and a Norse cross (Manx Cross 103), it is thought that an earlier chapel (keeill) once existed, predating the standing remains of the 14th/15th century chapel. A number of different placenames are associated with the site, including Keeill Pherick, directly implying a dedication to St Patrick. The site is however sometimes referred to as Keeill Kickle, which is thought to indicate a connection to St Cecilia.
