The findspot of a flint scatter collected by Cowley in the field numbered 997 on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. It includes a stone axehead and flint arrowheads, scrapers, beveller, chisels, a knife and spearheads.
The site of the former Glenmooar Corn Mill. It has origins as early as the 16th century, as it is mentioned in manorial records dating to AD1515. The mill has been converted for modern use and the mill leat also adapted as part of a fish farm.
A burial ground apparently stood 'on the Western edge of the natural plateau on which stands Tynwald Hill, about 193 yards West-South-West of the mound (King Orry's Grave)... Here, at a height above sea-level of about 145 foot, lintel graves have been found in ploughing, and from the description given of them by Mr Matthews, and the stones found in them, now lying in the hedge, they appear to have been Christian' but no keeill was found in association with them...'.
Modern watermill.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 depicts a water mill at this location, annotated as 'T. Mill'.
The building has been demolished and the site returned to agriculture.
Modern millpond.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 depicts a water mill at this location, annotated as 'T. Mill'. The millpond is shown in two parts, suggesting that it may have been extended at some point. It is fed by a stream, and is dammed at its SW, downstream end.
The millpond is now drained, and the area covered in undergrowth.
Modern mill leat.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 depicts a water mill at this location, annotated as 'T. Mill'.
A leat is shown leading along the north side of the valley from the millpond to the mill. It extends a distance of 100m. An overflow sluice protects the mill. A short tailrace leads water back into the stream downslope from the mill.
The leat is now filled in and the ground returned to agriculture. It is intermittently visible as a cropmark.
The grid reference relates to the midpoint of the leat.
A post-medieval corn mill associated with Kerromooar farm. A building and dammed pond are shown on the 1869 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map at this location.
A scholarly glossary defining ecclesiastical and temporal terms found in medieval and early modern Manx documents, charters, and historical records. Provides Latin and Anglo-Norman terminology for feast days, liturgical seasons, and calendar conventions used in administrative and legal documents relevant to Manx history. Essential reference for interpreting dated clauses and temporal references in period documents related to the Revestment era.
Defended promontory. The fort is located on a headland jutting south-eastward into the sea. It is lozenge-shaped, its longest axis running SW-NE measuring roughly 50m across. Natural defences are provided by precipitous gullies on the west and north sides thus providing a natural all round sheer rock face on all but a 20m strip to the north-west. Here an inner bank 4m wide at the base with a maximum interior height of 1m has been constructed; it has no apparent entrance. The bank is paralleled to the north by a ditch, beyond which lie an outer bank and ditch. The eastern half of both have been mutilated by a field boundary and cultivation.
There is no visible trace of any internal structures. The site is most likely of Iron Age origin, but may have been re-used during the medieval period.
The findspot of an early prehistoric flint scatter consisting of a worked flint measuring 35 millimetres in length. It was collected from the old land surface beneath 0.9 metres of blown sand.
Gob ny Rona (Port Lewaigue) is the ruined site of a late 18th or early 19th century casemated battery, built on the possible site of a Civil War Battery (possibly PRN 0585.00). It was a casemated battery comprising 'a sod rampart 12 feet thick, and a wooden platform of 18 yards wide by 6.5 yards deep' as mentioned in 1804. It had four embrasures and was different from the barbette-type battery ordered to be built here in 1793.
The fort is situated on a fairly high peninsular jutting northwards into the sea. The remains are rectangular and measure internally from foot of bank to foot of bank 14.5 x 7.5 metres. It is orientated west-northwest to east-southeast. The walls have an internal height of 1.6 metres and an external height of 1.1 metres, their average width at the base is 5.5 metres. They have been much mutilated by minor breaks and the whole is covered by fern and gorse. No trace of stonework was found. Considerable quantities of material have been removed from the adjoining southern exterior apparently in fairly recent times. No trace was found of any external defences.
An earlier Civil War battery appears to have stood on the site, as 'near Port League... there is an isthmus thereon was another fort... well supplied with cannon in 1643'. Further references were made to the site during the 17th and early 18th centuries; but 'only vestiges of the ramparts and a few old unservicable cannons' were seen in the mid - 18th century, although brought into use again in 1782. The headland is now National Trust property.
