A Neolithic roughened-butt axehead of Ronaldsway type was found in 'Thistle Field' at Ballgyr in 1913, a major Ronaldsway site, but its precise location is now unknown. It may lie under the new factories in northeastern Peel.


Scattered microlithic material has been found in the coastal fields at Ballagyr, and there is a concentration of Ronaldsway material from the unlocated 'Thistle Field', with further Ronaldsway finds from Lucas' fields, described as 'opposite the house and above the lime-kiln', presumably therefore plot 988 on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. Corlett's 1970s find of Ronaldsway sherds from the new factory development would suggest that there was a major Neolithic occupation in this area.
