A detailed historical narrative of the customs farming activities of Richard McGwire (Dublin banker) and Josiah Poole (Liverpool merchant) on the Isle of Man from 1720 onwards. The article documents their smuggling operations in tobacco, spirits, wine, and East India goods, their recruitment of customs collectors and officers, the exposure of their activities by Joshua Robinson, McGwire's death in 1727, and the broader context of the running trade that eventually prompted the 1765 Revestment. Directly relevant to understanding the economic and operational foundations of Manx smuggling before Parliamentary intervention.

This airfield was established as an RAF base in 1938, built on land acquired from the Ballamoar Estate.  RAF Jurby closed in 1963 but the airfield is still maintained and used for civilian purposes. An industrial estate, the Isle of Man Prison and the Isle of Man Motor Museum are now located here.

A cropmark of a ditched trackway system discovered on an aerial photograph taken in 1979 on the north side of Jurby airstrip around which there is a major concentration of crop-mark evidence. It has been suggested that the trackway may have been made during construction work on Jurby airfield.

Prehistoric flint scatter. A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Jurby Brooghs by CH Cowley. As Cowley elsewhere records discoveries at Jurby Point (Jurby Head), Jurby Church Brooghs, and Sartfield Brooghs, it is possible that he meant to define a separate location. He may again have been attracted by the burial mound, since destroyed, at Ballasalla farm, to the vicinity of which the grid reference refers 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.

A scatter of Mesolithic flint artefacts was found along a long section of coastal cliffs opposite Jurby Church and around the mouth of Killane river, collected from eroding cliffs and nearby fields. They included flint cores, blades, flakes and microliths. They are now kept at the Manx Museum.

Prehistoric flint scatter. A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Jurby by CH Cowley, from 'Jurby Church Brooghs'. The description refers to the area seaward of the parish church, centred at the grid reference provided. The coastline has since eroded back around 30metres since Cowley was active.

Medieval burial mound. The mound is located in the parish churchyard. It has a diameter of 14m, though this is now a little indistinct because of subsequent disturbance, and stands to a height of 2m. Later graves, of mostly 19th century date, have been cut into the mound. Gravedigging at one point revealed a sword, of reputedly Viking Age date, though this was immediately reburied. A second sword has also been found in the graveyard, but its fate is not clear.

This small fragment of a broken slab was found in the churchyard wall. It shows part of the head of a cross decorated with interlace.

This small flake from the face of a cross was found in the churchyard wall not far from Manx Cross 104. It is decorated with a pelleted interlace.

This piece of a broken slab was found in the churchyard during the 1800s and dates from AD950 - 1000. Each face shows the lower end of a cross shaft. One face bears a ring chain on the shaft, while the space to the left is decorated with tendril-pattern. To the right is a curious device within a border of step-pattern. The other face shows a shaft decorated with double twist-and-ring. The space to the right shows a boar and a stag, while to the left a man is shown carrying a pole from which a second figure hangs. The animals may simply represent a hunting scene, a common theme on Manx cross slabs, but the stag could be Eikthyrnir, who stands on the roof of Valhalla in Norse mythology. The other scene could possibly be derived from the Volsunga saga, in which the king Jormanrek is told by Odin that his wife has betrayed him with his son, Randver, and hangs his son in punishment.

This worn fragment was recovered from the churchyard wall. Each face shows the remains of the head of a cross with circle. On one face the circle bears traces of interlacing, and some looped plait-work survives on the arm below. Above the circle are traces of two animals, and below, traces of further interlace. On the other face the faint remains interlace can be seen on the arm of the cross, and a knot is visible above the circle.

This small slab has been at the parish church since before 1936, but its prior history is unknown. It bears on one face an incised plain cross in outline, with an outline circle behind. These firmly incised lines are overlaid with a more lightly scratched crude attempt at a double twist in all four arms.
