Modern watermill (site of) 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 was supplied by a leat extending 240m upstream, where it was drawn off the Glen Rushen river by way of a weir. Immediately above the mill, the final 40m of the leat broadened out to form a millpond, never more than 5m in width. The millpond led straight to the wheelpit, which was located adjacent to the east gable of the building. The position of a sluice halfway along the east side of the millpond is shown on the OS mapping, without annotation. A tail race extends 30m from the mill, returning water to the river in time to be drawn into the intake for the next mill (see PRN 2773). The mill has long been destroyed and its site is occupied by a dwelling and garden. The course of the mill leat is still apparent for much of its length, though much overgrown.

The mill was supplied by a leat, the final 40m of which formed a millpond to provide greater power storage. The millpond led straight to the wheelpit, which was located adjacent to the east gable of the building. A tail race returned water to the river just below the mill. The mill has long been destroyed and its site is occupied by a dwelling and garden.

Modern mill leat. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building together with the annotation, 'Corn Mill'. A leat brought power to the mill, and extended 240m upstream, where it was drawn off the Glen Rushen river by way of a weir. The grid reference provided relates to the position of the intake and weir. The mill has long been destroyed, but the course of the mill leat is still apparent for much of its length, though much overgrown.

Modern millpond. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building together with the annotation, 'Corn Mill'. The mill was supplied by a leat, the final 40m of which broadened out to form a millpond, never more than 5m in width. The position of a sluice halfway along the east side of the millpond is shown on the OS mapping, without annotation. The grid reference relates to this. The mill has long been destroyed, but the millpond, now drained, is still traceable.

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 tail race extends 30m from the gable of the mill, returning water to the river in time to be drawn into the intake for the next mill (see PRN 2773). The grid reference relates to a point midway along its course for indicative purposes. The course of the tail race is now much overgrown.

Modern watermill (site of) 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 was a small structure located immediately adjacent to the road bridge crossing the Glen Rushen river in the bottom of the valley. It was part of a complex that included several other structures (possibly a grain store and a miller's cottage) on the south side of the road and a miller's house to the north. The complex predated improvements to the road which left the gable of the mill protruding into the roadway, leading to it featuring prominently in archive photographs of this part of the village. The mill was supplied by two leats. The more northerly extended 130m upstream, where it was drawn off the Glen Rushen river by way of a weir. An overflow race lay just above the miller's house, so protecting this and the mill. The second leat captured the entire flow of the stream descending from the direction of 'The Sound', the confluence of two narrow valleys draining the north side of Dalby Mountain. The lower 240m of this stream was canalised and channelled along the roadside to a point immedately above the roadbridge, where it joined the other leat. A tail race extending 20m returned the water to the Glen Rushen river just downstream of the bridge and mill. The mill has been demolished to widen the highway; its site is partially occupied by a pumping station. The line of the northerly leat is now occupied by a footpath, but the more southerly one still carries water until diverted along a line approximately similar to the former overflow race.

The more southerly captured the entire flow of the stream descending from the direction of 'The Sound', the confluence of two narrow valleys draining the north side of Dalby Mountain. The lower 240m of this stream was canalised and channelled along the roadside to a point immedately above the roadbridge, where it joined the other leat. The grid reference relates to the point at which the stream becomes canalised. The leat still carries water until diverted along a line approximately similar to the former overflow race.

An overflow race protected the miller's house and the mill. The grid reference relates to a point midway along its course for indicative purposes. It has been filled in and replaced by a modern overflow race which diverts water from the southern leat along a line approximately similar to the former race.

Modern miller's house. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building together with the annotation, 'Corn Mill'. The mill was a small structure located immediately adjacent to the road bridge crossing the Glen Rushen river in the bottom of the valley. It was part of a complex that included several other structures on the south side of the road. The miller's house was located on the north side of the road. The overflow race which diverted water fro mthe more northerly of the two leats lay just above the miller's house, so protecting this and the mill. The miller's house still stands today (at the grid reference provided), and bears the name, 'Mill House'.

A burial cist recorded by W. Cubbon.

This position on a small peninsular plateau at Glen Mooar has been the subject of conjecture that there may have been a promontory fort here.   It has also been suggested that an Early Medieval burial ground exists here, but it is said to be an unlikely keeill or chapel site. The site is marked as a "Burial Ground" on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map but no trace of a burial ground or its enclosure can be seen here.

The remains of a cairn in an area of grass and fern. It shows a considerable stone content but the cairn is now very ruinous. Two parallel, edge set stone slabs are exposed in the cairn, 0.4 metres apart, 0.6 metres long and 0.1 metre thick, with a maximum height 0.5 metres. These are probably the remains of the burial cist.

This position on a small peninsular plateau at Glen Mooar has been the subject of conjecture that there may have been a promontory fort here.  The land is a flat topped neck of ground with fairly steep slopes on all sides except the east. Though the upper 2.0 m of the slopes appear steeper than normal this may be an optical illusion created by the erection of a wall and bank around the majority of the site. There is no definite evidence of scarping. The narrow neck in the east is created by two apparently natural re-entrants - the one on the north side curving southwards from an east-west river valley which has several such features and the one on the south curving backwards as part of a complex series of natural slopes. Across the narrow neck between these two re-entrants there is no trace of an artificial earthwork.  It has also been suggested that an Early Medieval burial ground exists here, but it is an unlikely keeill or chapel site.

The site of a Bronze Age barrow which was levelled about 1844. It is a ditchless, grass-covered bowl barrow situated on ground sloping to the northeast. Its diameter is 24.0 metres and its height to the south averages 1.0 metre. A few small stones are exposed on the flat top and at the sides of the barrow but there is now no visible trace of the cist which was reported here in the past.

The site of a post-medieval horse engine.

The site of a lead mine complex shown on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. It consisted of a number of features including "Old Levels", a level, wheelpit, leat and office building.

Prehistoric flint scatter. A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Glen Rushen by CH Cowley. The description is very general and as no further details concerning the circumstances of the discovery were recorded the grid reference relates to the the central part of the valley for indicative purposes only. 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.
