This pinfold stands near the cross roads at the Loughan on the road to Andreas village. It measures approximately 7.6 metres by 7.0 metres and is defined by sod banks with mortared stone-revetment facing. The entrance is to the centre of the south wall and has no lintel above. The inner facing now appears almost circular, due to the rough character of the sod hedges against which it is built. Each parish was responsible for the maintenance and repair of its own pinfold. Their origins are uncertain although a statute of 1422 confirms customary laws were already long established by that time.
Prehistoric flint scatter.
A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Jurby Point by CH Cowley.
This is likely to refer to Jurby Head. Cowley may have been attracted by the mound of Cronk Mooar, not knowing that it was of medieval, rather than prehistoric, origin. No further details concerning the discovery were recorded and the grid reference relates to the headland 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.
Two Bronze Age urns were found here in 1879. The find was described as being made "'In the Faaic" some 25 metres north of the Vicarage and to consist of two 'tall crocks' which contained "black matter". They were reburied on the spot by a Mr Corrin. The contemporary vicarage is not shown on Ordnance Survey plans but would appear to be in the area centred on SC 377978.
A former Wesleyan Methodist church which has closed and been converted for residential purposes. It has a datestone inscribed with AD 1847 in its south-facing gable wall.
Modern limekiln.
The Ordnance Survey First Edition 1:2500 map of 1868 shows a group of six limekilns at this location just west of Kallow Point. Associated records identify them in sequence from south to north.
Modern rope works.
The Ordnance Survey First Edition 1:2500 map of 1868 shows a rope works at this location near Kallow Point.
The rope walk extended north-westward for a distance of 850 feet.
The location of a feature decribed as a paved platform which measured 4.5 metres in diameter and was surrounded by stones on edge of a field known a Kame Mooar (Big Stile), about 275 metres northeast of Ballakilmartin.
This looked like the base of a barrow, containing burnt soil and stones. It is apparently a spread, ditchless, grass-covered bowl barrow with a diameter of 21.0 metres and a height to the south of 0.5 metres. It cannot now be described as a platform and no stones are visible.
The large scale 1:2500 Ordnance Survey mapping of 1870 shows most of the buildings that today comprise Karran's Croft. Today these buildings form a core part of the village folk museum, interpreted as a byre, a former stable and barn, and as a now-roofless cartshed. The byre previously served as a dwelling, which itself was a replacement for an earlier cottage which more recently served as the cartshed: both former dwellings preserve evidence for hearths demonstrating their original domestice purpose. Other, smaller structures are likely once to have served as a pigsty and hen-house.
To the north and east of the buildings lies the farmyard and stack-yard (haggart).
The grid reference is centred on the yard.
The modern church of St Luke is built on the site of an early medieval keeill known as Keeill Abban. The present St Luke's Chapel was built in 1836. In 1770, Dr Kelly referred to the ruins of the keeill and the Rev. W. Gill added its dimensions, about 15.5 metres by 3.6 metres. No other details of the keeill building are known, although a cross rudely cut into a rough slab of granite taken from Keeill Abban has been built into the gable of the present St Luke's Chapel.
The burial ground of the early medieval Keeill Abban, the site of which is now occupied by St Luke's Chapel and cemetery. Lintel graves have been found here in the past.
