The site of a gun battery, which dates to the period 1651-1713. The remains of the battery, which was constructed of small stones, can be seen at Fold Point overlooking Grant's Harbour on the Calf of Man.
The apparent site of the burial ground associated with an early medieval keeill or chapel, which would have been in use during the period circa AD500-AD1000. Lintel graves were found at Folieu in 1905 when digging drains for a new house at Port-y-Vullen, close to the brooghs, in the field numbered as Plot 388 on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. These were thought to be Christian graves marking the site of a keeill of which no other traces remain. A small cross-slab has also been found here (PRN 0600.30).
A small cross-slab which measures 8.3 centimetres by 3.5 centimetres by 1.3 centimetres and is kept in the Manx Museum. It was found at the apparent site of an early medieval keeill or chapel (PRN 0600.00), which would have been in use during the period circa AD500-AD1000. Lintel graves were found at Folieu in 1905 when digging drains for a new house at Port-y-Vullen, close to the brooghs, in the field numbered as Plot 388 on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map.

Post medieval corn-drying kiln. This kiln was once part of a farmstead occupied by the lord's forester, who was responsible for policing the use of the common lands above Sulby valley.
The structure was excavated in 1951-52, and found to be a simple rectangular building about 7.6 by 5.2m, constructed from stone with earth mortar. Apart from one possible late Medieval sherd the excavation produced part of an iron pot and a small range of 18th and 19th century pottery fragments, suggesting a construction date of this period. Prior to investigation the structure looked like a burial mound. The kiln is well-preserved up to a height of 1.5m, despite suffering damage during a major storm in January 2005 when several neighbouring mature trees fell on it.
The site of a post-medieval farmstead complex, which is shown to be in ruins on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. The buildings and field boundaries have been removed or levelled in modern times.
A formal indenture establishing truces between English and Scottish forces, dated 8 May 1357 and made at London. The document lists territories under English and Scottish sovereignty, explicitly naming the Isle of Man as subject to English faith and fealty. Presented in both English and Anglo-Norman French. Relevant as early constitutional evidence of Manx status within English sphere during medieval period.
A formal indenture recording a truce agreement made in London between England and Scotland, dated 8 May 1357. The document explicitly names the Isle of Man among territories under English royal faith and allegiance, alongside England, Scotland, Ireland, Gascony, Brittany, and Wales. This is significant for establishing the Isle of Man's constitutional status within the English realm in the 14th century.
A hotel established in the buildings of Fort Anne during the 20th century. The hotel shut in 1974 and the buildings were later demolished, but replaced by an office building built in a similar style. The original building was once home to Sir William Hillary, the founder of the Royal National Lifeboat Institute.
A published collection of official correspondence between the East India Company's Court of Directors in London and the Company's government in Fort William, Bengal, covering 1796-1800. Includes public letters, separate revenue letters on salt and opium monopolies, and law letters. Contains an introduction covering Company trade, monopolies (salt, opium), and administrative matters during the governorships of Sir John Shore and Lord Wellesley.
The Manx Language Society — Yn Cheshaght Ghailckagh — was founded to preserve and promote the Manx language. A.W. Moore and others recognised that the language was dying and that its loss would mean the loss of the Island's cultural identity. The Society's work would eventually feed the revival that produced Bunscoill Ghaelgagh a century later.
Modern smithy.
Former blacksmith's workshop. The property is still known as the Smithy.
The building is marked on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping, although not annotated. It appears to have been associated with two further buildings sited to the north-east, arranged around a yard.
These have now been demolished, possibly to facilitate the development of the roundabout at the adjacent junction, and the yard grassed over.
One wall of the more northerly of the two demolished structures forms part of the boundary wall.
Modern watermill and associated water management.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building at the grid reference provided, together with the annotation 'Corn Mill'.
The mill building is orientated east-west. The wheel was located on the south wall, and various annexes, now demolished, provided storage.
It was supplied by a leat extending 95m upstream, where the inlet took water from the river by means of a weir and sluice. A short 15m tail race returned water directly to the river.
The mill machinery was removed in 1971 and the building subsequently converted into a dwelling. The mill leat supplies garden water features.

The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building together with the annotation 'Corn Mill'.
A leat provided water power to the mill. This extended 95m upstream, where the inlet took water from the river by means of a weir and sluice (at the grid reference provided).
The mill leat supplies garden water features.
Modern mill tail race.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building together with the annotation 'Corn Mill'.
A short 15m tail race returned water from the mill directly to the river at the grid reference provided; it is now built over.
A mound of uncertain origin shown on the 1869 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map. P.S. Gelling and A.M. Cubbon belived it to not be a mine spoil tip. The site has been built over in modern times.
A record for the Foxdale Railway, a 3-foot gauge line which operated from 1883 onwards. It was run by the Manx Northern Railway Company between St John's and the Foxdale mines. It amalgamated with the Isle of Man Railway in 1904. The line closed to passengers in 1940 and was dismantled thereafter.

The course of the former Foxdale Railway, which was a 3 foot gauge line operated by the Manx Northern Railway Company between St John's and the Foxdale mines. It was opened in 1883 and was amalgamated with the Isle of Man Railway in 1904. It closed to passengers in 1940. It finally closed in 1960 and the line was taken up in the mid-1970s.
