This cross-slab is one of a group of cross slabs dating to the 6th to 12th centuries AD which have been found at or near St Patrick's church, Jurby.
It is a slate cross-slab with an incised outline cross on one face. It measures 28.5 centimetres by 17.1 centimetres by 1.3 centimetres. It is kept in the north porch of Jurby Church.
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.

Marble cross.
The memorial was unveiled on 2 June 1921 by the Lieutenant Governor Sir William Fry, accompanied by Lady Fry and Mr Leigh Goldie-Taubman. The dedication was performed by the Venerable Archdeacon. The Rev. J. A. Cooil, chaplain of St. Jude's, read the lesson, and the concluding prayers were read by Rural Dean the Rev. J. H. Cain. After a moment's pause, the Archdeacon pronounced the benediction. The contractor was Mr Edward Christian, monumental mason, of Ramsey.
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.
The Jurby Terminal Building, recorded on the register as the airfield's air traffic control tower and terminal building, oversaw flying operations at RAF Jurby from 1939 through the station's training role in the Second World War and its later use, into the 1950s and early 1960s, as home to the RAF's No. 1 Initial Training School and then No. 1 Officer Cadet Training Unit before closure in 1963. No further detail specific to this individual building's construction or design could be verified online.
