Modern watermill. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a complex of buildings at the grid reference provided, together with the annotation, 'Flour Mill'. The mill itself is orientated east-west. A grain store extends from the north side of the mill at the west end. A small annexe on the east gable probably served as a kiln. The mill was served by a leat drawing water from the River Neb. The building survives intact.

The grain store extends from the north side of the mill at the west end, and is centred at the grid reference provided. The building survives and is used as an office.

Modern corn drying kiln. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a complex of buildings, together with the annotation, 'Flour Mill'. The small annexe on the east gable of the mill probably served as a corn drying kiln. The building survives intact.

Modern miller's house (site of). The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a complex of buildings together with the annotation, 'Flour Mill'. The miller's house is shown just to the north-east of the mill. It was demolished c. 2000, but the other buildings survive.

Modern mill leat. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a complex of buildings together with the annotation, 'Flour Mill'. A long leat, some 600m in length, extends upstream to a substantial weir which draws water from the River Neb. The leat is guarded by a sluice, to which the grid reference relates. The leat survives for almost all of its length, but has been diverted into the River Neb some 50m upstream of the mill, where the outfall is clearly visible.

A trade journal for tobacco manufacturers, dealers, and smokers. This issue contains an article on tobacco and narcotics in Ottoman and Islamic Asia (translated from Arminius Vámbéry's 'Sittenbilder aus dem Morgenlande'), covering Turkish smoking customs, pipe culture, regional tobacco varieties (Latakia, Samsun, Roumelian), and the social role of tobacco in Ottoman society. Also includes a review of Henry Havard's 'Picturesque Holland' with references to Dutch smoking customs and pipe culture.

A commercial periodical devoted to tobacco manufacture, dealing, and smoking. The March 1877 issue (No. 84, Vol. II) contains articles on tobacco and narcotics in Ottoman Asia by travel writer Arminius Vámbéry, smoking customs among Turkish and Arab populations, descriptions of regional tobacco varieties (Latakia, Samsun, Jendische Bardar), and the cultural importance of pipes in Ottoman society. Includes promotional content for Cope Brothers & Co. tobacco products.

A bilingual (English/Latin) transcription of a 1426 diplomatic agreement between representatives of King Eric of Norway and King James I of Scotland, concerning territorial matters relating to the Hebrides and the Isle of Man. The document references earlier agreements between Magnus IV and Alexander III (undated), and between Haco V and Robert I (1312). Relevant to understanding pre-Revestment Manx sovereignty and the historical backdrop of competing claims to the island.

Manx garrison family who served in the Lord of Mann's military establishment. Their displacement after Revestment is part of the broader story of Manx institutional destruction.

This four storey building complex has two dominant adjacent structures each with an hipped slate roof fronting onto the main delivery yard and storage warehouse. The sitting is such that it completely fills the depression east of the stream in Laxey Glen.  The exposed stonework of both building facades is articulated by shallow pilaster columns running the full height of the building and linked by flattened curved arches below eaves level. The windows are all arranged regularly between these columns and the window head treatment echoes the flattened arch expression. The hipped roof of the layer of the two structures does not extend over the last two bays toward the stream which are also cut through by a large driveway at the ground floor. The roof is also punctuated by large revolving ventilators.  The rear of the structures are completely covered with a system of corrugated panels of unflattering appearance. No internal inspection was made. The front facade appears in good repair. The building has significance as a large Victorian industrial structure of well disciplined proportions and robust construction given over 190 years of very heavy use. However only the front facade is of particular merit and perhaps fortunately is also the only part of the building which can be seen from almost any angle.

Cormac mac Cuilennáin, king-bishop of Cashel, compiled a glossary around the year 900. It is the earliest dictionary in any non-classical European language. In it, Cormac describes Manannán as "a celebrated merchant who was in the Isle of Man. He was the best pilot that was in the west of Europe. He used to know by studying the heavens the period which would be fine weather and the bad weather, and when each of these two times would change." A weather forecaster. The god of the sea, the ruler of the Otherworld, the one who could make a single man look like a thousand — reduced to a merchant with a knack for reading clouds. This is what scholars call euhemerisation: taking a divine figure and rewriting him as a historical person. Christian scribes did it routinely. They could not have pagan gods in their manuscripts, so the gods became kings, or merchants, or clever men who could read the sky. The storms became weather forecasting. The Otherworld became a trade route. Moore, writing in 1891, traces the process clearly: as early as the ninth and tenth centuries Manannán "had suffered the change known as euhemerisation, from an immortal he had become a mortal." Yet the Voyage of Bran, written a century before Cormac, has Manannán riding a chariot across the ocean and seeing flowery plains where mortals see waves. The earlier text is more mythological, not less. The reduction came afterwards, deliberately. Someone decided to make the god smaller. It did not work. The fog still comes in from the south. The rushes still go up the hill. The fishermen of Peel and Port St Mary, for centuries, went to sea with an understanding that the sea belonged to someone, and you did not go out on it without acknowledgement.

This is an inaccessible site which was planned by L.S.Garrad. It consists of a flat area, measuring 41.5 metres by 23.5 metres, bounded by a bank. The site is marked on the 25 inch map. The site is traditionally said to have been a place of refuge from attacks by Danish raiders, but it may be an animal pound.

The site of a post-medieval corn mill.

A group of shieling settlements found along the Cornaa Valley, Maughold. At least thirty-two shieling mounds are situated in the valley, which probably should be considered to belong to a single shieling.

A group of shieling settlements found along the Cornaa Valley, Maughold. At least thirty-two shieling mounds are situated in the valley, which probably should be considered to belong to a single shieling. This example is a mound built up to create a platform. Its diameter is 11.0 metres and height about 1.5 metres. There is no trace of stones. It is heavily overgrown with grass and fern and difficult to assess but is possibly a hut site.

A group of shieling settlements found along the Cornaa Valley, Maughold. At least thirty-two shieling mounds are situated in the valley, which probably should be considered to belong to a single shieling. This example is a circular mound built up on the south side by 1.6 metres to form a level top with a diameter of 5.5 metres. The top is surrounded by a circular bank average. 0.1 metres high with an apparent entrance in the north west. A stream coming from the north west passes the mound on its north eastern side. The mound is grass covered but largely composed of stone and is apparently a hut circle. It is set on land falling to the south.

A group of shieling settlements found along the Cornaa Valley, Maughold. At least thirty-two shieling mounds are situated in the valley, which probably should be considered to belong to a single shieling. This example is a semi-circular bank of earth and stones on a hillside sloping to the south which has apparently been built up to form a level platform. The height in the south is 0.7 metres. One stone which is partially exposed has sides of 0.7 x 0.4 x 0.4 metres. By its form it is a probable hut mound.

A group of shieling settlements found along the Cornaa Valley, Maughold. At least thirty-two shieling mounds are situated in the valley, which probably should be considered to belong to a single shieling. This example is in an area where the ground is heavily overgrown with fern and no trace of antiquity could be found but in view of the proximity of others it has been thought to be a possible hut site.

A group of shieling settlements found along the Cornaa Valley, Maughold. At least thirty-two shieling mounds are situated in the valley, which probably should be considered to belong to a single shieling. This example is heavily overgrown with ferns. It consists of a slightly curved sloping wall built on the side of a hill which falls to the south and appears to be the retaining wall of a mound built up to a level platform about 5.0 metres across. It is possibly rectilinear and perhaps a hut site. This group of features appear to be similar to the hut or shieling mounds at Block Eary.

The site of a post-medieval corn mill.

This now lost stone is described in some detail by Miss A.M. Crellin in Volume 2 of Yn Lioar Manninagh,  "There was a somewhat curious large rough stone, about three feet every way, weighing several hundredweight, in a field on the Michael Glebe, between the Vicarage. and the sea, known as "Corneil-y-Keillagh." The old people called this black fixture a "font," and it was one of their favourite walks on Sunday afternoons to go and see this "font," which, for many years, was partly built up into the hedge of the field. When the late Rev. W. Hawley was vicar, he gave some members of this Society permission to take it out for the purpose of examination, but although there was a small groove in it at one end, evidently water worn, it presented no appearance whatever of "font," and certainly could hardly have been used for that purpose. It is curious what gave rise to the name "font," but the field in which it was, being called "Corniel-y-Keillagh" (corner of the chapel), is not without significance. The stone, after lying some time in the field, and being, probably, in the way of the plough, was, by Mr. Hawley’s orders, split up into flakes, and these are now thrust back into the gap in the hedge whence it came."

This site reportedly consisted of a circular bank within which a burial cist was identified. It is shown on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map, which shows the ring and describes it as a "Burial Ground". A "Cist" is shown set into southwestern section of the bank defining the ring. A modern description of the site found it to be a depression with a diameter of 25 metres but no enclosing bank and no evidence of a cist. The site had been rooted by pigs and badly damaged.  A "ring" with a diameter of about 36 metres does appear to be visible on the 2006 Google Earth Aerial Photograph. The true character of the site is not known.

A slate bearing "cup-marks" has been described as being found against the south wall of the field numbered 3590 on the 1869 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map.  It has also been described as "situated in the base of the East fence in the road to the farmhouse at Eairy ny Sooie". The stone measured 1.52 metres by 0.76 metres and was 0.45 metres high, with one face having three holes or "cup-marks" bored into it.
