A Neolithic round-based food jar belonging to the Ronaldsway culture was found here during ploughing, and donated to the Manx Museum in 1955 to 1956. The jar is thought to have been associated with a burial.

Earthwork. This large earthen bank and ditch crosses a ridge between two valleys. It survives as an earthwork features for around 300m, but a cropmark suggests that it may have extended for a further 300m as far as the bottom of the Lherghyrhenny valley to the south. The bank rises to a maximum height of over 2m near the top of the ridge, and a 3-4m wide ditch on the uphill side appears to have provided the necessary material. The bank peters out to the north close to the Tholt y Will stream, and the quarry ditch here has been eroded downwards by surface water run-off. To the south of the apex of the ridge the bank and ditch have been damaged by the construction of a sheepfold, and further south the physical remains of the earthworks have been ploughed down within fields belonging to a nearby farm, which is now abandoned. The sheer size of the bank and ditch where best preserved has given rise to comparison with Iron Age defences, though their topographical location militates against this. Their most practical use would seem to be as a barrier against animals - grazing stock or perhaps wild deer - and thus it is tempting to see the earthwork as an unusually large example of the 'mountain hedge' which from at least medieval times separated common land from farm land and prevented animals pastured on the uplands during the summer from trampling crops.

Cleveland is a city in north-east Ohio, United States, known as the Manx Capital of America. From the 1820s onwards, large numbers of Manx emigrants settled in the Cleveland area and the surrounding Western Reserve, with the population of Manx origin estimated at 25,000 to 30,000 by the mid-twentieth century. It is the headquarters of the North American Manx Association, founded there in 1928. The settlement can be dated closely. The first Manx pioneers reached the Cleveland district in 1826: three families, William and Eleanor Kelly, Patrick and Ann Tear, and William and Mary Kneen, with seven children between them. In 1827 something like seventy families, about two hundred people, followed into Ohio, among them Thomas Kelly of Doolough Farm in Jurby, who left on 6 July with his father, sister, wife and five daughters, and whose diary is the fullest of those that survive. The names that took root were a roll of the Island: Crellin, Shimmin, Kaighin, Cowley, Collister, Gelling, Kermeen, Monier, Mylchreest, Carran, Kewley, Lewin, Bridson, Crow, Killip, Cain, Corkill, Looney, Clucas and Kneen. They organised early and stayed distinct. A Manx Society was founded in the city in 1851 by James Christian, John Corlett, William K. Corlett, William Cubbon and William Brew, to take care of the immigrant who arrived with an empty pocket or in feeble health, and it holds an honoured place among the pioneer bodies of its kind. The deed for the acre on which the Laxey church was built was signed on 23 June 1855, four of its five trustees bearing Manx names, and it was laid down that whatever society used the building must adhere to the doctrines of the Primitive Methodist Church. The community had the reputation of being a somewhat clannish body of immigrants, and at one association dinner the speaker of the evening told several stories in Manx which the audience understood perfectly. Its people did well. Dr William T. Corlett, grandson of an original immigrant, won an international reputation as a specialist in diseases of the skin. Thomas Quayle, who came out with his parents in 1827 at sixteen, already apprenticed as a ship's carpenter, founded a famous shipbuilding firm in the city. W. Sheldon Kerruish, born in America to parents of the 1827 migration, became outstanding in law and public speaking.

This North Quay building was home to the Lake Brewery, founded in 1779 by George Booth and later taken on by John Williams Clinch III, who rented it from 1863 and owned it by around 1868, trading as Clinch & Co. The firm was known by two Manx Gaelic mottoes, "Glen as Lajer" (Clean and Strong) and "Three Fists," and Clinch remained managing director until his death in 1905, having earlier been forced to float the business under pressure from its bankers in the 1890s. The brewery traded on into the twentieth century before being absorbed by the Castletown Brewery in 1945 and closing the following year; the surviving quayside building today holds offices, shops and a public house, reflecting its old commercial and drinking-house use.

The site of a deserted farmstead known as 'The Close' is situated on the high moorland in the northern extremity of Braddan parish.  It was the home of a celebrated preacher 'Illiam y Close' or William Cowley, who died in 1848.   The farm was possibly established before 1706 as the earliest date associated with the site is an inscription 'IC:1706' on one of the slate stones of the existing stable. Presumably this refers to a member of the Cowley family who built (or rebuilt) the stable in that year.   The layout of The Close farmstead can be described as scattered, as no attempt was made to group the buildings. 50 metres north of the house, on the left bank of the streamlet which flows from the Flax-dub, are the remains of a corn-drying kiln (PRN 0718.10), which measures 6.4 metres x 3 metres overall (SC 36768927).  A lime kiln is located at NGR SC 36578819 (PRN 0718.20). All the buildings of the Close, except the stable, are shown as roofless on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. The fields around the farmstead are ridged in long broad butts.

Iron Age defended promontory. A massive bank and ditch forms the defences of this promontory fort. On the southern side a natural gully leading from the sea was enhanced and then extended to form a deep, semi-circular ditch protecting the promontory on the landward side. Material from the ditch was used to construct an earthen rampart, the inner face of which retained by a stone wall. Excavation suggested that the first phase of the defences were constructed during the early Iron Age. No obvious trace of occupation was found associated with this phase of defence.

Iron Age defended promontory. Excavation showed that the first phase of the defences, constructed during the early Iron Age fell into disrepair and was replaced and enhanced during the late Iron Age. These are the defences visible today. The earlier defences were enlarged, the ditch being excavated to a depth of around 3m and the rampart widened to about 3.5m. The investigations also found four well-constructed stone roundhouses with paved floors and central hearths, which were occupied until 100 AD. A range of personal items was recovered, including a bone comb, a bronze brooch, glass beads and a fragment of a black jet ring and bracelet, as well as weaving and sewing tools. The promontory fort then fell out of use until reoccupied during the Viking Age.

Medieval defended promontory. This substantial, well-defended Iron Age promontory fort was reoccupied duriing the Norse era, when a rectangular building 12.5m by 5m was constructed. A narrow stone bench against the south wall would have served for sitting and sleeping. No evidence of a hearth was found, implying that the structure was not permanently occupied. The limited evidence for domestic use, coupled with the lack of a hearth, has led to the suggestion that the building formed part of a 'watch and ward' system of coastal defence (which continued until at least the early 17th century), or may have policed a coastal beach market.

Iron Age and medieval defended promontory. A massive bank and ditch forms the defences of this promontory fort. On the southern side a natural gully leading from the sea was enhanced and then extended to form a deep, semi-circular ditch protecting the promontory on the landward side. Material from the ditch was used to construct an earthen rampart, the inner face of which retained by a stone wall. Excavation showed that the first phase of the defences were constructed during the early Iron Age, but this had fallen into disrepair when it was replaced in a second phase of activity during the late Iron Age, the remains of which can be seen today. The earlier defences were enlarged, the ditch being excavated to a depth of around 3m and the rampart widened to about 3.5m. The investigations also found four stone roundhouses with paved floors and central hearths, which were occupied until 100 AD. A range of personal items was recovered, including a bone comb, a bronze brooch, glass beads and a fragment of a black jet ring and bracelet, as well as weaving and sewing tools.

A narrow stone bench against the south wall would have served for sitting and sleeping. No evidence of a hearth was found, implying that the structure was not permanently occupied. The limited evidence for domestic use, coupled with the lack of a hearth, has led to the suggestion that the building served men undertaking watch and ward duties along this stretch of coastline.
