The findspot of an early prehistoric flint scatter found by Dr Larch S. Garrad and Mr Alan Skillan during fieldwalking in the field numbered Plot 1550 on the 1870 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map. It includes some very large pieces including some of Heavy-flake type, a prismatic core and 2 slate bars possibly for honing.
The findspot of a Mesolithic flint scatter which included several Heavy-blade or Bann type implements found in a field alongside the Lhen Trench, which is shown as Plot 2049 on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map.
Bilingual (Latin/English) transcription of passages from the Chronicle of Florence of Worcester covering early medieval and Norman-era references to the Isle of Man (Mevania). Includes accounts of Welsh rebellion (1094), Norwegian King Magnus's expedition (1098), and the island's political status. Relevant as historical background on pre-Revestment Manx sovereignty and the transition from Norse to Norman influence.
This fog horn station at the Point of Ayre, Cranstal, was part of the warning system that helped guide shipping around the treacherous sandbanks at the Isle of Man's northern tip. Like fog signals at many British and Manx lighthouse stations, it was decommissioned, in this case in August 2005, once modern GPS and shipping guidance systems made audible fog signals largely unnecessary for navigation.
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.
