Neolithic burial cairn. This much-damaged cairn has been plundered of stone for use in nearby field boundaries. It is obscured by gorse but measures approximately 20m in diameter and is raised up to 1.2m above the level of the neighbouring field. The field boundary to the north and west may incorporate part of the body of the cairn. Internal structures, apparently representing chambers or passages, have been noted in the past.

The site of a large Neolithic or Bronze Age barrow, which has been conjectured to be a "fort". There is no evidence of such a fort.

The supposed site of a "crosh" mound, which was a medieval or later coffin rest used when carrying a coffin for burial along the old road to the parish church.  A feature consisting of a small mound of earth, 1.8 metres x 1.2 metres x 0.9 metres high, with a dry stone wall facing of large stones on its eastern side.  The mound is situated just below the crest of the gorse covered slope. Its age and purpose are unknown but it may have some connection with the tradition of coffin rest.

The site of an early medieval keeill and burial ground which were located in the field numbered 704 on the 1884 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map. Lintel graves have been found within the field, even during ploughing in modern times, just inside the gate at the southwest corner of the field.  The name Crosh Pharlane is remembered locally.

No additional information could be verified for Cross Fourways beyond its name and position on the Billown Circuit. It does not appear in Wikipedia's detailed article on the circuit (which covers the course's other named corners and their racing history), and no other reachable source described it individually.

The oldest mine in the Foxdale group, dating from prior to 1810, was the Cross Vein mine, known as Cronk Vane (White Cross) in Manx. The Engine house, with its square chimney, survives behind the square-sectioned Engine Shaft. It is usually known as 'Snuff the Wind' because of its prominent siting. The structures have been consolidated. The older, circular-sectioned East Shaft is still visible.

A post medieval lead mine in Patrick parish.

The findspot of an important flint scatter of Mesolithic or Neolithic date. Cowley collected more than 50 scrapers, circa 40 knife blades, 16 arrowheads and an axehead and thought these represented a settlement site.  A Group VI axehead and a group of worked flints, including a barbed-and-tanged arrowhead, cores, blades, flakes, scrapers, microliths and micro-burins, found by Cowley in the 1920s-40s are now in the Manx Museum Cowley Collection. Mr & Mrs Megaw subsequently found another arrowhead and plano-convex knives, which suggest the site is Neolithic. LS Garrad also collected material.  The site is now sealed under road.

Prehistoric flint scatter. A significant quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from 'Cross Vein, Glen Rushen' by CH Cowley. The mine is located at the grid reference provided for indicative purposes. The antiquary Charles Harry Cowley was an avid collector of worked flint and coarse stone artefacts revealed by agricultural activity, mainly on farms located around Peel, and occasionally from further afield. He was active from 1900 until 1943. His entire collection of artefacts, together with a daybook cataloguing his discoveries, was later donated to Manx National Heritage.

A cross slab found at St Bride's Church. It measures 31 inches high, with a maximum width of 16 inches and minimum width of 9.5 inches and a thickness of 6.5 inches. It is recorded as Manx Cross No.58.

The findspot of a broken plain Bronze age cinerary urn, originally about 30.5cm high, which was found circa 1903 by Mr D. Davies and presented to the NHAS in 1906.

The decades of devastation. Crown customs officers replaced the Manx establishment. The garrison was reinforced. The harbours were blockaded and destroyed. The fishing fleet was wrecked. Impressment stripped the Island of its men. The 1792 Commission of Inquiry documented what had been done and recommended remedies that were never implemented. The 1805 Parliamentary debates acknowledged the destruction and voted to send Manx surplus revenues to the Consolidated Fund. The Island paid for its own dispossession.

Customs administration established under Crown authority after the purchase of the Isle of Man in 1765. Revestment transferred the customs revenues of Mann from the Lords of Man to the Crown. A new customs establishment was therefore required to collect duties, regulate imports and exports and enforce the restrictions imposed on Manx trade after the purchase. The change was immediate and substantial. The Island could no longer operate as the low-duty entrepôt which had sustained the running trade. Crown officers were charged with controlling the ports, recording imports and exports, preventing prohibited goods entering the Island and enforcing the new limits placed on quantities intended for local consumption. The post-Revestment customs system also became part of the British revenue bureaucracy. Reports from the Island were sent to the Treasury and customs authorities, while proposals for regulating Manx trade were framed in terms of British revenue protection. William Lutwidge’s post-Revestment proposals provide a detailed view of the new regime. He reported on the quantities and types of foreign goods entering Mann and argued that illicit trade had been largely suppressed. He also proposed measures intended to balance the needs of Manx inhabitants with the protection of British and Irish customs revenue. The Crown establishment therefore performed a different function from its predecessor. The pre-1765 customs system had raised revenue for the Lord of Man while allowing a comparatively open import trade. After Revestment, customs administration became an instrument for integrating Manx trade into the fiscal restrictions imposed by the British state.

Cruickshank's Corner is a right-hand curve on the A18 Queen's Pier Road, at the multi-junction where the A18 becomes May Hill, slightly uphill as the course leaves the residential outskirts of Ramsey. No verifiable source could be found explaining who 'Cruickshank' was or giving a separate coordinate for the point beyond its description as this A18/May Hill junction; none should be invented.

A slab with a Celtic type cross incised in relief on one face (Manx Cross No. 69).  Guriad's Cross comes from Ballaterson Keeill (PRN 0599.50) and has the Crux Guriat inscription.  It is thought to be of 9th century date. It measures 115.5 centimetres high x 30 centimetres maximum width and 10 centimetres thick.

The apparent site of an early medieval keeill or chapel, which would have been in use during the period circa AD500-AD1000. It was located on the east side of Port-y-Vullen where a cottage now stands in the plot numbered as No. 674 on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map.  A Mr Cowin and others from the neighbourhood remembered seeing lintel graves ploughed up here. The large cross-slab (Manx Cross No. 69) which is now kept at the parish church appears to have been taken from this cemetery. For many years it was set on the hedge by the highroad.

This large slab was found at Ballaterson (IOMHER 0599.00). It was moved to the nearby roadside hedge before 1841, and thence to the parish churchyard in 1894. The slab bears five raised bosses laid at equal distance in the form of a cross. The bosses are surrounded by a double ring, which is supported on a shaft rising from a flat pedestal, so as to create a wheel-headed cross on a narrow shaft. The creation of this large memorial would have been a truly monumental task as its design required the whole of one face of the stone to be dressed back to a considerable depth so that the five bosses would stand in relief. The design is most unusual for the Isle of Man, and its nearest parallels are to be found in Scotland. A short Latin inscription in Irish-Saxon letters on the right-hand edge of the stone reads 'Crux Guriat', which translates simply as "the cross of Guriat", a distinctively Brythonic personal name which hints at links with north Wales or southern Scotland.

A broken cross-slab found when the keeill (PRN 0402.00) was excavated by P.M.C. Kermode in 1911. It was inscribed with a Celtic cross and circle within a rectangular panel. The slab was also decorated with bird's heads, crosslets, animals and several names, the letters of which were suggestive of a 7th or early 8th century date. The slab measures 58.5 centimetres x 51 centimetres x 3.8 centimetres. It is now kept in Bride parish church.

A broken slab, incised with a ringed Celtic cross and Roman name. Found by Kermode during excavations at Ballavarkish in 1910-1911. It measures 23 inches x 20 inches x 1.5 inches and is kept at St Bride's Church.

This broken slab was found at Ballavarkish keeill (IOMHER 0402.00) during excavations undertaken by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1912. The surviving portion bears a 'Celtic' cross and ring set within a rectangular panel. It would originally have served as the front panel of an altar. The soft stone has been the target of pilgrims' graffiti, and is marked with Christian symbols - birds' heads, a monk, a lamb, and several small crosses followed by Celtic men's names which are rendered in Latin form: Lugni, Diprui, Maborai and Condilici. The crosses are regarded as invocation to pray for the individual whose name follows. These graffiti would have been carved during vigils or devotions in front of the altar by clerics and visiting pilgrims, and shows that these people were literate in Latin. The original stone is on display at the Manx Museum.

A supernatural smith who resided on the Isle of Man, "of so long-lived or mythic a nature as to be found living in all ages of pagan history." Cuillean — or Guillean — forged the magic sword, spear and shield for Concovar Mac Nessa, king of Ulster. The oracle of Cloghor directed Concovar to travel to the Isle of Man and commission the weapons from Cuillean, and the supernatural power they carried won him the sovereignty of Ulster. Brash, writing in Antiquitates Manniae, argues that Cuillean may be identical with Manannán mac Lir. The points of identification are several: both are intimately connected with the Isle of Man, both are forgers of supernatural weapons, both are located in Ulster where Manannán is said to have reigned over the provincial fairy kingdom, and both fell into disrepute among the Christians. "Cuillean, too, fell into disrepute among the Christians, as did Mananan." The Manx Gaelic phrase giolla Guillen — "the servant of Guillean" — survived into modern usage as a synonym for an imp of the devil, carrying the memory of the old smith long after the stories themselves had faded. Cuillean's cave was on Slieve Gullion in County Armagh, still remembered with a mixture of awe and unease in local tradition when O'Kearney recorded it for the Ossianic Society.

Historic county on the English side of the Irish Sea, with longstanding ecclesiastical, commercial and family connections to the Isle of Man. The Cumberland coast lay directly across the sea from Mann. Whitehaven became one of the principal English markets for Manx produce and one of the ports most affected by the eighteenth-century running trade. Cumberland also entered Manx ecclesiastical landholding. The Barony of the Hough in Maughold, later held by the Christians of Milntown, was described in Manx constitutional material as having formerly belonged to the Priory of St Bees in Cumberland. The barony contained about 420 acres and remained an unusual freehold jurisdiction within the Island. The Christian family itself developed connections on both sides of the sea, including the branch established at Ewanrigg in Cumberland. The county's coastline appears repeatedly in the debates over Manx smuggling before Revestment. During parliamentary discussion of the purchase of the Island, the Duke of Atholl attacked a customs memorial which blamed Mann for illicit trade on the surrounding coasts. He drew attention to the Solway Firth and the “flat shores of Cumberland and Lancashire”, asking rhetorically whether he was responsible for their geography as well as for the position of his Island. Whitehaven merchants had already petitioned government about Manx tobacco and other smuggling, making the Cumberland coast one of the principal points at which the running trade met the British customs system. Their 1752 memorial complained particularly that tobacco manufactured on Mann was being carried clandestinely into Ireland and that the same smuggling fleets interfered with the coal trade from Whitehaven and neighbouring ports to Dublin.
