There is a record of a monument known as Giant's Grave or Cronk y Toshee in the field numbered 452 on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. The information is marked on an annotation on a 1:10560 scale Ordnance map. Notes made by the Rev. E.B. Savage state that there was a burial cist here which contained black soil and charcoal.
Medieval burial mound. The well-defined conical shape of this mound, coupled with its prominent topographical location, is believed to imply a medieval rather than prehistoric origin. It has a maximum diameter of 12m, but is truncated on its south- and north-west sides by agricultural activity. A field boundary offers protection to the south-east. The mound survives to a height of 2m.
Cronk y Voddy is the site of Manannan's Chair (Stoyly Manannan or Manachan), a large eroded rampart in the parish of German, on the Staarvey Road between Lhergydhoo and Knocksharry. Within it stands an earthen mound in the form of a seat, from which the legendary Manannan Mac Lir is said to have dispensed the law; a tradition also held that this mythical king of the Island was buried within.
This Bronze Age barrow was opened in 1866, and ploughed and robbed out between 1870 and 1875. A cist, urn and flints were found, as well as a bronze axehead, now in the Manx Museum, Accession No. 1954-0805 (possibly an error). Granite boulders taken from the site were broken and built into the tower of the parish church.
It survives as a ditchless, grass-covered, much spread bowl barrow with an approximate diameter of 20.0 metres and average height of 0.2 metres. It is thought to be the tumulus referred to by Feltham in 1798 as 'a high mound, surrounded by stones'
Confusion exists concerning the exact findspots of 3 axeheads claimed for this site and for PRN 0375.00. An Early Bronze Age flat axehead was found at Cronk y Vowlan in 1870-5, only the blade portion survives (Manx Museum Accession No. 1954-0795).
A small-scale emergency excavation by Garrad in 1984-85 revealed Neolithic/Bronze Age burials.
The site of a Bronze Age barrow which was levelled in 1866. At that time the burial cist was opened and a bronze axehead was found. It appears that this is a bronze looped and socketed axehead with three vertical ribs on each face said to have been found at Cronk y Vowlan, East Kimmeragh before 1890 (Manx Museum Accession No. 1954-0803)
In 1983 flint arrowheads and blades were collected in same area. In 1984 the cist was excavated by Dr L.S. Garrad.
The site of a night watch beacon at Poolvaaish dating to 1627 (and probably earlier). It is commemorated by the name Cronk y Watch (on the 1957 Ordnance Survey 6 inch map). It shown as 'Polbash' on a map with an official document dated 1627. The watch system, which apparently derives from the Norwegian period, was founded on a chain of vantage points around the island, two at least in every parish, upon which beacons were prepared. There is written evidence, as early as the 1490s, that every parish kept both Day and Night watches.
This stone was found, broken in two, during excavation at Cronk yn How (IOMHER 0468.00) in 1928. When the two pieces are laid together, a cross formed by a clearly cut vertical line, to which a horizontal line has been added by several lighter scratches, can be seen.
This stone was found during excavation at Cronk yn How (IOMHER 0468.00) in 1928. One face of this broken slab bears a simple form of linear cross, with irregularly cut lines.
This stone was found during excavation at Cronk yn How (IOMHER 0468.00) in 1928. On one face it bears a feebly-cut cross, with fine scratches showing initial practice strokes.
This stone was found during excavation at Cronk yn How (IOMHER 0468.00) in 1928. It is a narrow, broken slab, bearing a cross formed by finely-scratched lines, on one face.
This stone was found during excavation at Cronk yn How (IOMHER 0468.00) in 1928. This narrow slab, with its end pointed for setting in the ground, bears a simple cross with lines punched by a pointed chisel.
This stone was found during excavation at Cronk yn How (IOMHER 0468.00) in 1928. The slab is broken and flaked, but shows the remains of a plain cross in outline, and other scratches.
This stone was found during excavation at Cronk yn How (IOMHER 0468.00) in 1928. Only a broken and damaged fragment survives, with a plain cross in outline, formed with very fine lines. There are slight remains of a chevron design below.
This stone was found during excavation at Cronk yn How (IOMHER 0468.00) in 1928. On one face the slab bears a feebly-drawn cross set at an angle. There is a slight attempt at framing the cross.
This stone was found during excavation at Cronk yn How (IOMHER 0468.00) in 1928. This broken slab has been carved on both faces. One face bears a linear cross finely cut with the point of a knife; the horizontal bar, represented by two strokes, marks the beginnings of a panel over the head of the cross. A well-cut hexafoil cross set within a circle is drawn in the middle of the other face. To this, another hand has added an irregularly-drawn outer border. Above is a small plain cross in outline. An irregular linear frame has been added inside the edge of the slab, which has been overscored with another frame of zig-zag scratches.
This fragment of stone, just 0.23m long, was found during excavation at Cronk yn How (IOMHER 0468.00) in 1928. One edge bears a fragment of a runic inscription, the letters of which do not survive to full height. The stone went missing from the church during the 1990s, but a cast remains in the collections of Manx National Heritage.
