Modern horsewalk.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a horsewalk at this location. The horsewalk, and the barn to which it is attached, are both intact, and form part of the Grove Museum operated by Manx National Heritage.
The long wooden beam is designed for operation by two horses, and the entire mechanism, including the mill inside the barn, is intact.
The findspot of a Mesolithic flint scatter found in a marl pit in the corner of the field. It consists of worked flints, blades, flakes and waste of Heavy-blade or Bann type.
The findspot of a Viking sword and the fragments of a shield. Following the recovery of a part of an iron sword blade from a building site near Ramsey, A.M. Cubbon excavated the hilt and upper part of a Viking sword and shield mountings, with no associated grave. The finds were deposited in the Manx Museum.
Neolithic worked flints, including arrowheads, localised only to The Howe (historically centred at the grid reference given). The precise findspot - or findspots - are unknown.
'The Hump' is a Bronze Age bowl barrow which is located in a field about 300 metres north of Ballaleece House. It is ditchless, and is now fern and grass-covered, and has been used as a site for depositing stones lifted during field clearance. The barrow has a diameter of 15.0 metres and an average height of 1.7 metres.
Excavations were undertaken on the barrow by Fleure in 1937, revealing a short cist in the centre of a well-constructed cairn. The body of the cairn consisted of alternating layers of stones and sand. The cist contained no relics but was apparently undisturbed. A fine example of a flint blade with several serrated concave notches was found in the material of the mound.
Modern commercial building.
The property is currently in use as a bank (the Isle of Man Bank).
The structure is protected under the terms of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999. It was placed on the protected buildings register on the 3rd February 1984, and is Registered Building No 39.
The Jubilee Clock is a typical 'Victorian' monument comprising of a single stone column on a conically elevated tiered base supporting a cubical housing for a four-faced clock which is 'crowned' by a metalic decoration. The clock faces are relatively small for public use and the scale of the monument is appropriate to this limitation.
Over two hundred tiny chapels once scattered across the Island, roughly one for every treen. Built by the culdees, servants of God, who chose to live among the people and serve the families nearest to them. Typical dimensions: five metres by three, walls of stone described as unnecessarily massive for such small enclosures. One window. One door. Altar against the eastern wall. Almost invariably a spring or stream nearby. One keeill per treen was the general pattern. By the eighteenth century most were ruins, but the memory of holiness clung to them. A windmill built from keeill stones went with tremendous fury and had to be taken down. Wilson knew the curse: may a stone of the church be found in the corner of thy dwelling-house. The 2007 archaeological survey identified 174 sites. They survived because they were beneath notice.
The approximate area of the findspot of an early prehistoric flint scatter which included 17 flakes, 12 chips and an asymmetrical slate whorl with hole drilled from one side only (PRN 1234.10).
Prehistoric flint scatter.
A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from The Lhag, Dalby by CH Cowley, from 'Creggan Mooar'.
No further details concerning the discovery were recorded and the grid reference relates to the farmsteads gathered in the base of the valley 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.
The site of a mound of unknown significance, which is known as The Landmark but there was a belief that it might be an ancient burial mound. In the past the tenant of the land here was not allowed to plough the mound, which was the location of a minor triangulation point. It is a ditchless mound, orientated north-northeast to south-southwest and measures 12.0 metres by 6.0 metres and is 0.4 metres high. It has rather sharp edges apparently created by ploughing around it. Past excavations at the site of the triangulation point have revealed three stones. Its present appearance is not that of a barrow and it is likely that its past importance was for the presence of the triangulation point rather than any archaeological interest. The mound is not a prominent point or landmark in the accepted sense. It is likely that the farmer was forbidden to plough it for fear of disturbing the trangulation pillar socket.
At least 5 small tumuli on the Laggan on the slope of the west side of the river. The mounds may be tumuli or hut mounds of the Block Eary type. One tumulus has been examined, with a height of 3 foot 9 inch, diameter about 33 foot. An area 5 by 4 foot was uncovered, disclosing four upright stones irregularly placed and several others in the horizontal position. No signs of charcoal were found but evidence found of the artificial character of the mound.
The area has been revisited but no trace of the mounds was found. The west slope of the Largan is extremely steep and fern covered with little width at the valley bottom and the area southwest of Keeill Woirrey is rough pasture. The mounds are shown on Gelling's shieling distribution map, however.
The conjectured site of an Early Medieval keeill or chapel and burial ground, thought to date to the period AD500-1000. No trace of the keeill has ever been found, but about 1907, during ploughing, lintel-graves were exposed at the site. One grave, 100 metres southeast of Ballalergy was recognised by a stone slab, measuring 2 metres by 0.6 metres (noted on field copy of the 6 inch Ordnance Survey map by P.M.C. Kermode in the Manx Museum). The site was visited by J.R. Bruce in 1963 who stated that no foundations or burial-ground banks were evident in the even surface of the pasture field.
