The find spot of a flint scatter which consisted of over 25 flakes, blades and cores, and a granite pounder, 105 mm diameter, which was domed with one battered face.
The site of a post-medieval horse engine. The circular horsewalk is shown on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map, but the area has since been cleared and redeveloped to include a tennis court.
Medieval burial ground.
The Ordnance Survey First Edition 1:2500 map of 1868 records 'Site of Chapel & Burial Ground' without a marker denoting the location; the wording is centred at SC20867093.
The Manx Archaeological Survey (1968) could find no upstanding traces of the site but viewed an aerial photograph which suggested the presence of a roughly oval enclosure measuring approximately 20 by 10m, centred at the quoted grid reference. Modern aerial photographic survey (Isle of Man Government, 2015) show very faint indications which tend to confirm this.
No firm structural evidence for a keeill has been located, but the presence of white quartz stones noted by the Archaeological Commissioners (1877) may indicate the remains of a cobbled floor, lintel graves, or both.
Graves have been found or reported on several occasions, and the field is still known as the 'Rellick' (Manx, 'rhullick', a burial ground). The discoveries appear to cover a wider area than indicated by the enclosure cropmark.
Modern watermill and associated water management.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition of 1868 shows a corn mill at this location, fed by an 80m leat from a millpond impounding the Surby stream running from the NNE.
The mill is now destroyed, and the site occupied by a bungalow of 1960s / 1970s date. The millpond is silted up and occupied by trees, though the mill leat still survives.

Modern millpond.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition of 1868 shows a millpond at this location, which feeds a leat leading SSW to a corn mill 80m away.
The millpond is silted up and occupied by trees, though the leat still survives.

Thie ny Boandyr, Douglas Street, Castletown, is a house which was used for the Taubman Endowed School between 1799 and 1872. The building is marked on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 large scale mapping of 1867 together with the annotation, 'School'.
Extensive remains of 19th century quarrying activity represented by offices at SC32708783, powder magazine at SC32858793, and quarry workings at SC32648770, SC32948802, SC33008792, and SC33838768. The features are presumed to be associated with the Tetleys Mine.

Prehistoric flint scatter.
A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Thalloo Quayle by CH Cowley. No further details concerning the discovery were recorded and the grid reference relates to the cottage 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.

This description could relate to one of several fields on the east side of the landholding, all of which are bounded by a stream. The grid reference relates to the cottage for indicative purposes only.

The findspot of a scatter of Mesolithic 'Heavy Blade' type and Neolithic Ronaldsway type flint artefacts as well as a polishing stone. They are held in the Clementson Collection at the Manx Museum.
