The findspot of an early prehistoric flint scatter consisting of 8 waste flakes and a core found as a group, with over 20 flint flakes also found nearby. Many of the pieces were weathered and wind-polished.

Great Britain is the island comprising England, Scotland, and Wales, and the political entity whose government drove the Revestment of 1765. The relationship between Great Britain and the Isle of Man is defined by the Island's status as a Crown Dependency - neither part of the United Kingdom nor a colony, but possessing its own parliament, laws, and traditions.

St German's Cathedral, possibly on the site of a predecessor, was founded in the 13th-14th centuries but due to the incursions of the raiding Scots was protected by a curtain wall and gatehouse in the later 14th century, a feature that was to develop into the fortress and garrison of Peel Castle during the 15th to 19th centuries.

The Great Inquest was a special judicial proceeding in Manx law, comprising a jury empanelled to investigate and determine matters of public concern, land disputes, or questions relating to the rights and customs of the Island. It played a central role in the Island's constitutional and legal framework, particularly in resolving disputes over land tenure and customary law.

The site of a waterwheel in the Great Laxey mine complex, which was used for winding and pumping in the Agneash Shaft.

The site of the Agneash Shaft in the Great Laxey mine complex. This shaft was sunk to only 59 fathoms below adit level and hardly developed before it was abandoned.

The site of the Dumbell's shaft in the Great Laxey mine complex. This shaft was begun circa 1860 and was ultimately the deepest shaft in the mine, reaching 302 fathoms (552 metres) below adit level.

The site of a waterwheel and winding house in the Great Laxey mine complex which was used for winding and pumping in the Dumbell's Shaft.

The site of a turbine in the Great Laxey mine complex, which was used for winding in the Dumbell's Shaft.

The site of a steam powered winding house which was built circa 1847 for the Engine and Welsh shafts within the Great Laxey mine complex.

The site of the Engine Shaft in the Great Laxey mine complex. It was sunk to a depth of 247 fathoms below adit level and was used for winding and later for pumping.

A particular feature of the Great Laxey mines was the hydraulic Man Engine, which was the miners lift.  Prior to 1881 the men had to walk up and down ladders to get to work on the lower levels. With journeys taking an hour each way, or a quarter of their shift. The Man Rods, baulks of metal-reinforced timber with small, standing room only, platforms attached at regular intervals were installed in the partitioned Welsh Shaft.  The shaft followed the lode so that it was about 10-15 degrees off vertical and the rods were supported on rollers. The Man Engine was a two-foot diameter piston with twelve foot stroke which lifted the rods this height. Platforms were fixed at twelve foot intervals on the shaft, one side being used up to go up, the other to go down.  When the engine was working a head of some two hundred foot of water drove the piston up vertically. It fell under its own weight. The Engine continued to work until 1919 and its remains are preserved in situ. The men were carried up and down by stepping from the platforms on the rods onto the the fixed platforms in the shaft. Any one rod platform only travelled between two of the fixed ones. To go down from a level a miner stepped onto a rod platform when the piston reached the top of the stroke. He rode it down and stepped off onto a fixed platform when the bottom of the stroke was reached. He stepped onto the next rod platform when it was lifted level with him and rode on down to the next fixed platform.

The site of the washing floors for the Great Laxey mine.

The site of a large waterwheel parallel to the stream and below the road which was part of the complex of washing floors for the Great Laxey mine. The wheel remains in situ.

The site of a large waterwheel which was positioned at right angles to the stream and below the road which was part of the complex of washing floors for the Great Laxey mine.

The site of a 19th century lead mine shaft in the Great Laxey mine sett.  This was the north shaft, which only reached a depth of 180 metres below ground level, and was backfilled in circa 1919.

A record for the Tynwald Mine within the Great Laxey mining sett.

The site of the Welsh Shaft within the Great Laxey mine complex. It was sunk to a depth of 295 fathoms below adit level, and was used for winding, for the Man Engine and for pumping out the lower levels.

A single worked flint, a convex scraper 40mm long, was found in the north-west corner of Ordnance Survey Field no. 2838, on ploughed land adjacent to the footpath running westwards from Ronaldsway Industrial Estate to Great Meadow. The artefact is in the Manx National Heritage collections, accession no. 1968-0152.
