The site of a former Wesleyan Methodist chapel, which is shown on the 1870 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map. It is no longer in use and has been converted for residential purposes.
The site of an early medieval chapel or keeill, shown on Wood's Atlas of 1867, which names it as Croit-ny-Keeillagh. The keeill site has long been ploughed over and no evidence survives of its presence. No further information has been recorded.
The site of a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument. The mound was opened in 1888 and three burial cists revealed, from which funerary urns were recovered.
The site was excavated in 1975 because a large stone was protruding above the ground surface and was being affected by ploughing. A vertical slate slab was found which measured about 1.0 metres long, 0.75 metres high and about 0.1 metre thick. At the base of this slab another large piece of slate, 0.7 metres long, was found in a horizontal position and in contact with the upright stone. The only artefact was a fragment of Neolithic Ronaldsway pottery. The two stones were certainly the remains of a cist, though whether they represent all that was left after a Victorian 'dig' or the site of an additional cist cannot be confidently stated.
The site of the remains of up to 7 possible late prehistoric or early medieval hut circles. They were originally recorded by Canon Harrison, who saw the remains as an early settlement.
A group of 7 hut circles set on a gentle slope on a hillside which otherwise slopes steeply to the north. By their size and generally simple stone walls they are more comparable to the Bronze Age hutcircles of Dartmoor than any other such feature seen on the Island, though unlike Dartmoor settlements they are not enclosed.
A - is the remains of a stone-built hut circle of 5.0 metres diameter, which has been mutilated into a modern shelter 1.1 metres high. One orthostat remains in situ.
B - is the west half of a circle of large loosely piled stones averaging 0.4 metres long. Its diameter is 4.0 metres. Some of these stones look as though they have been placed upon the walls in a fairly recent attempt at restoration.
C - is oval and measures 6.0 metres north to south and 4.0 metres east to west. Its walls are 1.5 metres thick and 0.2 metres high.
D - is oval and measures 3.0 by 2.0 metres with walls 0.5 metres thick and 0.2 metres high.
E - is two huts with diameters of 3.0 metres and walls 0.2 metres high and 1.0 metre thick.
F - is a rather vague circle with internal diameter of 1.0 metre and with the north half alone remaining. Walls of turf and stone average 0.1 metres high and 0.7 metres thick. No entrances could be located.
The site of a Bronze Age standing stone. It is a granite stone, 2.3 metres high, on a hillock called Cronk Ashen where an urn was found in the past. The stone is situated at the southern end of a natural ridge orientated northeast to southwest. The stone has a pronounced lean to the northeast and has irregular sides averaging 0.8 metres by 0.5 metres. It tapers towards the base. It is weathered and is used as a rubbing post.
There is no trace of any other stone or an associated mound. This stone was listed by Megaw as being at Ballachrink, Kirk Santon, with a footnote stating 'Mr W. Cubbon brought me to this site. It has the appearance of a very much ruined burial chamber.'
The site of a Bronze Age barrow which was partially removed in the 19th century and then levelled by Mr J. Moore in 1886. It measured about 9 metres in diameter and stood up to 1.8 metres high. The mound was composed of loose sand and gravel.
It appears that there were originally at least two mounds within 30 metres of each other, separated by a road. The second barrow (PRN 0467.20) was close to the edge of the road and removed when the road was lowered in the past.
The roadway is now 12.0 metres from bank to bank with grass covered fields on either side. The lane in which Cronk Aust was situated has been straightened out and resurfaced. No trace of either barrow now exists on the ground.
About the centre of the first mound, at a depth of 1.6 metres, an urn was found. A second urn was also found 1.8 metres from the first. Both were filled with calcined bones. Both were subsequently destroyed. They measured between 30cm and 60cm in height and were wide at the mouth, gradually narrowing to the bottom. The first was well baked and it walls up to 9mm thick. Within the rim was an angular waved band sharply cut and slightly raised. Outside were two rows of elliptic but rather pointed figures covered with finely crossed lines. At the bottom was a roughly drawn five pointed star. The outside of the urn was thus entirely ornamented. It was filled with calcined bones and was placed mouth upwards but was broken and later pieced together. The second, larger, urn was only slightly ornamented with small dots or holes in lines. It was full of calcined bones and inverted. There were deposits of calcined bones and ashes within the Tumulus.

A grass covered, ditchless, bowl shaped mound with a diameter of 15.0 metres and height of 1.9 metres but it has been damaged by sheep scrapes. The barrow was opened in 1928, revealing two empty graves built of coursed stones, as well as a cist of stones on edge, with a capstone, containing incinerated bones.
Medieval burial ground.
The site was investigated by the Manx Archaeological Survey (1910). No excavation was conducted below the paved floor of the keeill, and no investigations were made in the well-defined, if somewhat irregular enclosure, which has maximum dimensions of 36m from north to south and 27m east to west. Nevertheless, the survival of an enclosure to the present day may well signify the presence of a burial ground.
The site of a Bronze Age bowl barrow which is shown as a Tumulus on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. It is composed of blown sand which was noted as being badly eroded as early as 1895. It survives as a ditchless grass and fern covered bowl barrow with a diameter of 15.0 metres and a height of 1.2 metres. Mutilated by minor digging, not recent, and ploughing.
A fragment of a Manx slate slab with an incised cross on one face was found here in 1978. It measures 16 inches by 8 inches, by 3/4 of an inch. The slab is now kept at the Manx Museum.
This incomplete slab was found at Cronk Breck keeill (IOMHER 0938.00) in 1978. One face bears a deeply incised linear cross with pronounced curved serifs at the terminal of each of the surviving arms. The cross is damaged but appears to have had equal upper arms and a longer lower arm.
The findspot of a flint scatter of Mesolithic date. Over 20 pieces were collected, including flakes, a blade with a serrated edge, a tanged missile head and a core.
Medieval chapel and burial ground. The chapel, of drystone construction, stands within a large enclosure. The site was investigated by the Manx Archaeological Survey (1910). The building is orientated east-west, and measures 7.6 by 4.3m internally. Walls are 0.9-1.2m wide and 0.9-1.6m high. The doorway is in the west gable; no evidence for windows was identified by the Survey. The floor is paved, and the remains of the altar stand at the east end, 1.3m long by 0.5m deep and 0.3m high.
The enclosure surrounding the chapel measures 36 by 27m.
