Cronk Bouyr Burial Mound, Ballakesh
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.
Cronk Bouyr Flint Scatter
The findspot of an early prehistoric flint scatter.
Cronk Breck Burial Ground
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.
Cronk Breck Burial Mound
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.
Cronk Breck Cross Slab

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 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.

Cronk Carran, The Chasms Hut Circle
Roundhouse. This neatly formed stone building, constructed using several large stones, is about 6m in diameter and by size would appear to be a small Bronze or Iron Age hutcircle. Its coastal location and isolation are unusual.
Cronk Cooar Burial Mound
The site of Bronze Age barrow. The burial cist and some urns and evidence of a cremation burial were found in the barrow when it was excavated by A.M Cubbon.  Neolithic Ronaldsway material has been found in the same field.
Cronk Crane Burial Mound, Ballagawne
A very low ill-defined mound often ploughed until many undefined graves discouraged further work.
Cronk Crock
A mound composed mainly of rock outcrops in which some digging has taken place.  It is 4 to 6 metres in diameter and 1.2 metres high.  In quarrying to make the wall that passes over the mound, a cinerary urn was exposed.   Dr Tellet visited the mound in 1883, which had been cut in half by the workmen, and removed the broken inverted urn, evidently filled with cremated bones.  The urn is of the Ronaldsway Neolithic type and its fragments now in Manx Museum.

A Bronze Age funerary urn was reportedly discovered in this area but no details have been recorded of the circumstances of the discovery.

Cronk Guckley Burial
Human remains from a burial site of antiquity have been reported from Cronk Guckly, but their date is not known. It is not known if the discovery is associated with the Bronze Age round barrows at Cronk Guckley (PRN 0857.00) or an urn reportedly found in a sandpit near the barrows, in the field numbered 984 on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map (noted by Crelling & Fowler on page 6 of their 2017 report on the Cronk Guckley excavation).
