A small quantity of worked early prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballameyrick by C.H. Cowley, included an arrowhead, a scraper and a knife.  No further details concerning the circumstances of the discovery were recorded 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.

Scatters of Neolithic "Ronaldsway" type flints have been found at 'Ballameyrick". The location is uncertain but it is thought to lie in the Ballagyr area between Whitestrand (SC 267856) and the outskirts of Peel (SC 252845).  The scatter also may have included flints of Mesolithic "Bann" type.

The site of a Bronze Age burial cist which was located within a plantation close to the farmhouse at Ballamilghyn. Glass beads found here were given to the farm children to play with and have since been lost. When recorded, Mr James, the farmer, pointed out the site where the cist was said to have existed, which was now occupied by a refuse heap with no trace of the cist visible.

A fragment of the head of a stone slab bearing an incised Latin cross was found built into wall near Ballamilghyn farm.

Faaie ny Cabbal, or the Chapel Close, south of the highroad and behind Ballaugh village is still remembered as the site of an early medieval chapel or keeill and burial ground.  It would have been in use between approximately AD500 and AD1000.  The ruins evidently existed in 1826 when a Mr Radcliffe gave the measurements of the chapel as "6 yards long by 4 yards broad."  The site is marked on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map but in modern times a house has been built here and there is no trace of either the chapel or its burial ground.

The site of a Bronze Age cairn which has been virtually destroyed. The only trace of the cairn seen when recorded was a fairly dense scatter of stones in the area of land under plough. No surface finds were noted. The cairn is shown at this location on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map.

The site of Ballamoar Castle. The present mansion dates to the early 20th century but was built on the site of an earlier house. It is set within a large planned park and garden area.

Ballamoar was the late 17th century home of Sir George Moore. The mansion has been demolished, but traces of watercourses supplying the gardens survive, as does a large mound known as 'The Mount' (PRN 1038.00) which is thought to have been part of the formal gardens.

The findspot of a Mesolithic flint scatter which included Heavy-blade type flakes and a scraper.

Modern horsewalk. The Ordnance Survey First Edition 1:2500 map of 1868 shows a horsewalk at this location. It is possible that the structure still survives in undergrowth.

Modern watermill and associated water management. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building at the grid reference provided. There is no annotation, but the building is served by a millpond and leat. The mill served the adjacent farm, Ballamoar. It was supplied by a leat extending 180m to a millpond, which dammed a stream flowing northwards from Barnell glen. A short tail race returned water directly to the stream. The mill has been converted into a dwelling, named 'Mullen Beg'.

Modern leat. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building a little to the east of Ballamoar Farm. There is no annotation, but the building is served by a millpond and leat. The leat is 180m long. Its route is still apparent today, and the grid reference marks a point midway along its course for indicative purposes.

Modern millpond. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building a little to the east of Ballamoar Farm. There is no annotation, but the building is served by a millpond and leat. The millpond covered an area of about 0.1 acres, and was centred at the grid reference provided. It is now drained, but parts of the dam wall are still apparent.

The site of a supposed tumulus but which is thought to be of relatively recent date, possibly 18th century.   It is a grass and bramble covered, steep sided, ditchless mound situated within a crescent shaped depression and in the area of decayed ornamental gardens of which it almost certainly formed a part.

Worked prehistoric flints found in Ordnance Survey Field no. 792, Ballamoar, Earystane, Rushen. The finds comprise 14 pieces of flint of indeterminate character. The precise findspot is not recorded, and the grid reference relates to the centre of the field. The objects are in the Manx National Heritage collections, accession no. 1989-0316.

Medieval chapel and burial ground. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867 shows the location of a chapel and burial ground at this location on Ballamoar farm, together with the annotation, 'Chapel & Burial Ground, Keeill Vael (Ruins of)'. The OS shows the chapel itself, surrounded by a small enclosure. The site was examined by the Manx Archaeological Survey (1915), at which point no trace of the features recorded by the OS was visible above ground. The Survey records that the site had been levelled in about 1900. A Royal Commission inspection in 1976 noted that a curvilinear length of nearby field boundary probably preserved an indication of the former line of the burial ground enclosure in which the chapel had been located. There is no record of graves having been found.
