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.

Early Bronze Age burial cairn. The cairn is prominently located east of the road. The substantial, grass-covered mound has a maximum diameter of about 20m and survives to a height of 1.9m. An orthostatic revetment is apparent in places, but the edge of the cairn has been lost in others.
One large chamber is exposed and measures 1.5 by 1.2m and 1.2m deep. It is of almost megalithic scale and is formed from rough blocks of quartz.
The findspot of a scatter of worked Neolithic flints, which included flint cores and two scrapers. Some probably Neolithic "Ronaldsway" type pottery sherds were found here, as well as some Bronze Age pottery sherds.
The findspot of a scatter of Mesolithic flints, both microlithic and heavy blade material from the immediate vicinity of a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age cairn (PRN 0895.00). A considerable quantity of Mesolithic 'Bann' material has been found at Corvalley Farm including Giant's Grave field, which is numbered 105 on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map.
The site of a post-medieval horsewalk. When recorded it was noted that the "top of walk has grooved drum as if for winding cable. Two drums for belt drives leading to gearing in barn."
Prehistoric worked flint.
A single flint scraper of indeterminate character, 40mm overall, was found at the Cronk ny Moghlane crossroads. The grid reference is centred on the crossroad for reference purposes only.
Subsequent fieldwalking in the immediate area in 1970s by LS Garrad (Manx Museum 1964-96) produced only unworked flint.
The artefact is in the Manx National Heritage collections, accession no. 1971-0105.
A stone circle is marked here on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. There are five irregular quartz blocks still in place, forming a circle with an outer diameter of 12.0 metres and situated on top of a small hillock. It is now thought that the stones represent the circle of a ruined cairn or barrow, rather than a stone circle.
The dimensions of the five stones are; 1.7 metres long, 0.9 metres wide, 0.8 metres high; 2.1 metres long, 0.8 metres wide, 0.7 metres high; 1.8 metres long, 1.3 metres wide, 0.5 metres high (possibly fallen over); 1.3 metres long, 0.4 metres wide, 0.4 metres high (possibly fallen over). The fifth stone is largely covered by brambles but its size compares with the others.
At SC 32399332 are two quartz blocks forming gate posts on either side of the lane. The west one is faced to give a rectangular section and resembles a bigger than normal gate post, but the east one is similar in size and form to those of the circle.
Philip Kneen told the Ordnance Survey in 1866 that he remembered more blocks being in the circle and that urns had been found.
