Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. Its connection to the Isle of Man relates to the broader network of British military and naval stations in which Manx people served, and to the Mediterranean trading links that featured in the Island's commercial history.
Royal letters of presentation from Edward I gifting ecclesiastical benefices in the Isle of Man to Alan of Wygeton (church of St. Carber) and Odo the clerk (church of St. Santan) in 1291, asserting the King's authority over vacant churches by reason of the land being in royal hands. Demonstrates early English Crown sovereignty claims over Manx ecclesiastical appointments.
Two letters patent issued by Edward I granting presentations to vacant churches in the Isle of Man (St. Carber and St. Santan), exercised on the basis of royal custody of the island. These documents establish the Crown's medieval ecclesiastical patronage rights over Manx benefices and are part of the Monumenta de Insula Manniae collection, a key primary source series for Manx history.
A royal writ from King John directing payment of thirty marks from the English treasury to the King of Mann as a gift. This early 13th-century document demonstrates the feudal relationship between the English Crown and Mann, and provides context for understanding the island's constitutional status prior to the later Atholl period and 1765 Revestment.
The findspot of a Mesolithic flint scatter found during building work in the field behind Ginger Hall, Sulby. The flints included 3 cores, 3 gravers, blades, flakes, scrapers and microliths, which are now kept in the Manx Museum.
An extensive cropmark complex near Dog Mills was discovered by air photography taken in 1982-83 by Prof. B. Jones and N. Higham. At Kionlough (SC 453985) between the modern road and the sea are two complicated site nuclei with associated field systems, suggesting two periods of superimposed landscape. Elements of both landscapes can be seen to the south as buried ditch lines. 550 metres to the southwest, and to the north of Nassan (SC 447981), an elliptical multivallate site appears to be the principal feature, although another, sub-rectangular enclosure is visible, 300 metres to the northeast.

Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, situated on the River Clyde. It had trading connections with the Isle of Man, particularly in the tobacco trade that shifted from Whitehaven to Glasgow during the eighteenth century, and was part of the wider network of Irish Sea ports with which the Island maintained commercial links.
The stone cist within barrow PRN 0535.00 at Glen Auldyn, which would have contained a cremation burial. The cist is in the northwest quadrant of the barrow and is orientated northwest to southeast. Two stone slabs measuring 1.0 metre long by 0.2 metre thick and 0.5 metres deep form the sides of the cist. The end slabs are missing and one small stone slab alone remains of the floor.
The remains of a barrow, which measures 12 metres in diameter and is 60 centimetres high. The barrow mound has been robbed of much of its stone, probably taken when the nearby road was built. It now survives as a ring or kerb consisting of white quartz boulders, slate slabs, rubble and soil. Many of the stones have a distinct outward lean. Other large stone slabs are exposed in the interior. In the northwest of the remaining mound is the stone cist, which is orientated northwest to southeast and its sides are formed by two stone slabs 1.0 metre by 0.2 metres by 0.5 metres deep. The end slabs are missing and one small stone slab alone remains of the floor.
Modern mill leat.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a building together with the annotation, 'Chemical Works'.
A 250m leat provided the works with a water supply, the line of which can still be traced. The leat drew water off the Glen Auldyn stream by means of a weir, the location of which is refered to by the grid reference.
Modern millpond.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a building at the grid reference provided, together with the annotation, 'Chemical Works'.
The chemical works was provided with a water supply by a 250m leat. A small 0.1 acre millpond provided the means to store additional power.
The site of the pond can still be traced today, and is centred at the grid reference provided.
Modern mill tail race.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a building together with the annotation, 'Chemical Works'.
The chemical works was provided with a water supply by means of a leat and a millpond.
A tail race returned water to the Glen Auldyn watercourse 190m downstream. Its precise route is not entirely clear on the OS mapping, nor on the ground, and it may have been culverted along its upper course. Its outfall, to which the grid reference relates, is still apparent.
Modern watermill and associated water management (site of).
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a building at the grid reference provided, together with the annotation, 'Corn Mill'. The mill was subsequently converted and used as a woollen mill.
The mill was powered by a waterwheel located on the west gable, and was served by a leat which extended 90m upstream. Additional storage was provided by a small millpond. A tail race returned water to the Glen Auldyn river a further 90m downstream.
The structure is now partly demolished and the site occupied by a domestic garden.
