A small Ronaldsway type bowl was recovered from the Lhen Trench in 1962. It had probably been dislodged during mechanical widening and deepening of the Trench in 1955, and the rim broken during this operation.
The findspot of a Neolithic greenstone axehead, found on Langness, near the Herring Tower (sometimes known as the Landmark Tower).
The grid reference provided is for the Herring Tower, for indicative purposes only.
The findspot of a knife made of reddish flint, retouched on one face, found near a mound by William Cubbon. It may have been found in the vicinity of a group of shieling mounds.
A Viking Age silver coin hoard was found in Kirk Lezayre parish in 1750, perhaps at the Kella, as proposed by Dolley. The Atholl Papers in Manx Museum associate the hoard with a grave containing a sword and an axe, but Wilson suggests that these were separate finds. The hoard consisted of thirty-nine coins, described by J. F. Crellin in the 19th century as 'of the Heptarchy', a fortieth, larger coin may have been a Kufic dirham. The hoard is most likely to have been deposited in the late 9th/early 10th century.
The findspot of a Mesolithic Heavy-blade type piece measuring 3.7 centimetres overall, and a flint flake. The grid reference is located to the centre of the field for reference purposes only.
The findspot of a Neolithic or Bronze Age pounder or hammer, made of a grey igneous rock and tapering to the butt. The heavy end of the stone is abraded. It was donated to the Manx Museum by C.H. Cowley (Accession No. 1954-1624).
A Viking Age hoard of silver coins was found in 1834 and described as 'A considerable number of silver coins were found whilst digging up the foundation of the old church previously to the erection of the present edifice. The workmen seized and disposed of a great part of them; Bishop Ward got possession of some, which were transmitted by him to the British Museum, where they now are...they were originals or imitations of Saxon coins of the period of Ethelred II (979-1016).'
The description is consistent with another that describes them as being found close to the surviving portion of the old church chancel. The grid reference provided is centred just to the west of the old chancel, notionally within the footprint of the old church.
Numismatist Michael Dolley identified the coins as being mostly Hiberno-Norse, except a small element of Hiberno-Manx, and to have been concealed in the 1070s: it may be significant that the battle of Skyhill took place in 1079.
A Viking Age coinhoard was found in 1972, and additional material recovered in 1975. A total of over 80 coins and several fragments of silver rings were eventually found, at the time making it the finest collection of Hiberno-Manx coins to have been recovered on the Isle of Man.
The coins were found during the cutting of a grave in a previously undisturbed portion of the new graveyard. The hoard was buried in a linen bag or cloth and consisted of at least eighty-one coins together with two complete and three fragmentary plain silver rings.
The coins comprise twenty-two Anglo-Saxon, fourteen Normandy deniers and three fragments, twenty-one Hiberno-Norse and twenty-one Hiberno-Manx. The majority of the coins were struck between 1020 and 1050, leading to the conclusion that the hoard was deposited in the 1060s.
The hoard now forms part of the national collections at the Manx Museum.
The findspot of a fine-grained Neolithic or Bronze Age greenstone axehead with pointed butt end. It was found in a railway cutting in Michael in 1921 and donated by Mr T. Stowell to the Manx Museum (Accession No. 1954-0065).
Medieval incised stone. During investigation of the site by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1911, a tall pillar of slate was recovered from a spot just west of the keeill.
It bears bilingual inscriptions in Roman (on the face) and Ogham (along one edge) characters recording the burial of Ammecatus son of Rocatus.
The findspot of a bronze ornamented pin of late 9th-10th century AD date. The pin, 8.9 centimetres long surmounted by an ornamented disc, 0.95 centimetres diameter, was found by a Mr Martin circa 1927 'below the brooghs at Knoc y Doonee.'
The disc is ornamented on both faces by an outline cross, having diagonals between some of the limbs, and enclosed by a ring. The object might possibly have been a dress-pin associated with the nearby ship burial.
It was exhibited at the NHAS Meeting in Douglas, November 1930. Presumably the pin was returned to the finder as it is not figured in T. Fanning's article 'Hiberno-Norse pins from the Isle of Man' in 'Viking Age in the Isle of Man, 1983 (ed. C. Fell et. al.) pp.27-36, which examines pins preserved in the Manx Museum.
The findspot of a hoard of at least four polished-stone roughed-butt axeheads of Ronaldsway type. The axeheads were found lying together in the soil about 50 centimetres below the surface, when making a drain at the new coastguard buildings near Knockaloe in 1905. They were donated to Manx Museum by the Lords of the Admiralty in 1923 (Accession Nos. 1954-0603, 1954-0607, 1954-0608, 1954-0609).
An incised cross-slab, thought to date to the 8th century AD, was found lying above the broogh near St German's railway station, about 600 metres northwest of Knocksharry cemetery by Mr Clementson in 1920. It had lain not far from the site of an old keeill from which it had probably been taken. The slab measures 81 centimetres by 25 centimetres by 3.5 centimetres thick. There is a cast kept at the Manx Museum.
